Faeces was solid or semisolid waste produced by several species in the process of defecation. It typically consisted of food components which could not be digested, and thus were expelled from the body. (PROSE: The Dying Days)

In 1599, residents of Southwark dumped buckets of faeces and urine out of their windows, as indoor plumbing was not yet widespread. To warn passersby, the residents would shout "Gardez l'eau!", French for "Watch out for the water!". Martha Jones and the Tenth Doctor encountered such a situation on their first adventure together. Although they narrowly avoided being hit, the Doctor still felt obliged to apologise. (TV: The Shakespeare Code)
