Coprolite makes a great insult. I'm sure we can all think of some prominent fossilized turds.

Of course real coprolites are wealth of information and a welcome find, unlikely the fucking coprolites who seized control of the US.

oh, he's definitely not fossilized. you can watch him ooze in the afternoon sun during summer.

I'll admit it took me longer than it should have to figure out what a coprolite is, but at least I figured it out before googling it.
