If we go to the original language it's basically a profane word for poop.
One of multiple instances of crude or harsh language and profanity in the bible.
i.e. "Filthy Rags" in
"All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away." Isaiah 64:6
That's talking about used menstrual rags, basically dirty tampons which to a jew at that time was about the dirtiest thing there was. Highly vulgar.
