Pg. 493 of David Markson’s copy of The Complete Greek Drama: Volume Two by Various (Ed. Whitney J. Oates & Eugene O’Neill, Jr.):

     On which Markson put a check next to a line from the hilariously foul-mouthed Sausage-Seller in Aristophanes’ play The Knights:
     “If you open your mouth, I’ll shut it with shit.”

—

     Well, isn’t that a stercoraceous line?

     Don’t know what stercoraceous means?

     Turn to Markson:
     “‘I started to say. Woeful. Defenstrated. Stercoraceous.’
     ‘Hallelujah. What does that last one mean?’
     ‘Pertaining to shit.’
     That silvery laugh, all longing’s resurgent anew.”
