Creeping Crud 

A close relative of "you don't know where that's been." Creeping crud is when you don't know what invisible germs and dirt is on a surface and you try not to touch it. The term can also be used to describe an unidentifiable substance, or to describe crud that is, in fact, creeping.

Keith: Right, better steer clear of that shit.

Ex. 3

Keith: RUN, BEFORE THEY MUTATE EVEN MORE!!!
