говновоз

говновоз is a vulgar Russian noun meaning a sewage truck—a vehicle that removes sewage or waste from septic tanks, portable toilets, or cesspits.

Literally, it is formed from a vulgar word for feces plus a word meaning “carrier/hauler,” so shit wagon can work as a deliberately crude, humorous English equivalent. In neutral or professional Russian, say ассенизаторская машина or илосос (depending on the type of waste-removal vehicle).

Register and usage: It is slangy, coarse, and often humorous or insulting. It may describe the actual vehicle, and sometimes metaphorically a very dirty, unpleasant, or low-status vehicle.

Related words: ассенизатор, ассенизаторская машина, вакуумная машина, илосос. A similarly vulgar but less technical English-style equivalent is “poop truck.”

Etymology: A compound of a vulgar Russian word for excrement and воз, “carrier” or “hauler.” The second element is related to the verb возить, “to transport.”

1. Утром во двор приехал говновоз, чтобы откачать септик.
