Girdle Wax

You’re driving and have to shit. You lose the battle. The seat heater is on so it liquifies in your draws. You get out of the car to head in the house but the cold air causes it to once again solidify. Thus becoming caked onto your undergarments like wax
Friend: “Dude, after the bar yesterday, I was driving home and got some serious girdle wax.

throp-girdle

Old English: þropgyrdel

A semi-permanent enclosure around a small village, farm or hamlet, erected to help contain livestock and/or delineate arable land under cultivation by the local community. Generally oval in shape, throp-girdles gradually replaced the rectilinear land boundaries created earlier by the Romans (although the first Anglo Saxon settlements of this period were often unbounded). Archeological evidence for throp-girdles is based on the excavation of shallow features such as fence-lines and trackways, with some of the best known examples coming from West Stow and Mucking in Suffolk and Essex respectively, both dating from the early 7th C.
Sum wudewe wunode Oswyn éðelstaðoles bewindende stīfne þropgyrdel ārǣrde gehaten æt þæs halgan byrgene on gebedum and fæstenum manega gear syððan

"A certain widow, named Oswyn, raised a stout throp-girdle about her humble settlement and dwelt at the grave of the holy one in prayer and fasting for many years afterwards" - Ælfric's Life of St. Edmund
