After living and growing up in the city for more than three decades, moving to the country took some adjusting. One of the things that I had to get used to was the variety of smells.We have a few head of cattle in a yard about a hundred yards from the back door of the house and when the wind is just right (or wrong)….Well, you know what I mean.My spouse, Doug, forever the farmer, has been known to step out the back door, inhale deeply and comment, "Smells like money!" I am sitting here telling you that money does not smell like that where I come from. It seems, however, that my senses have adjusted and lately I hardly notice an ill breeze.Manure. That is the word used in the agricultural community. I do not dispute its existence (who could?) or its usefulness as fertilizer. God, in His infinite wisdom, certainly thought of everything. What I object to is the word itself. Manure. We have used the stuffing out of that word and I propose a change. I am starting my campaign here but plan to take it on the road. I predict that one day my new word will catch on and the utterance of ‘manure’ will be a thing of the past. It will join words and phrases like horse haimes, singletree, shocking grain, wire check planting and milking stool. Obsolete.Once I decided that a new term was needed, my task then became the search for the perfect word. I searched high and low (considering the topic, it was mostly low) and finally found what I was looking for on the Public Broadcasting Station.One day my little daycare chickadees and I were watching the travels of "Buster Bunny" on PBS. Buster wanted to see a wild moose on his trip to Canada. Some local children were helping him track when they came upon some moose droppings. They referred it as ‘sqat’.Sqat, what a perfect word! Short and eloquent, yet distinct and unusual. It rolls off the tongue like water off a duck’s back.Sqat, a word that could have no other meaning except for its sister word, scat with a ‘c’, which is used to tell a cat to go away.Sqat. I could not find it anywhere in a dictionary with this particular meaning with any spelling so I decided to spell it with a Q. I feel the seldom-used letter makes it more unique.Doug, besides doing a little farming on the side for the sheer joy of it, is a territory manager for a company that sells agricultural equipment. One of the products he represents for his dealers is a brand of spreaders. Doug is a serious agent of his goods and he certainly knows his sqat. He is a natural at representing these implements.Sqat spreaders come with different brand names: Slinger, Scavenger, Pro Push, Hydro Push, Hydro Spread, Honey Wagon, etc. During my research I discovered there are also many slang names that are not suitable for print.I predict, once the word ‘sqat’ catches on, it won’t be long before one sees the name ‘Sqatter’ or, even better ‘Sqatterer’ on the side of a massive distribution machine.I close the gate on the word ‘manure’. ‘Sqat’ is much better; you’ll agree I’m sure.I’ll need your help and now that you’ve heard, put down your paper and go spread the word.Story ideas or comments can be e-mailed to Nancy at Nancy861@msn.com or please
