Shit Midas. Unlike the greek's myth, there're so much more people who turn everything into piles of burning feces. I'm struggling to name it. Shitass, maybe?

            To be fair, it’s also “mierde” in French, because it’s “merda” in Latin and was “smerda” before that in Proto-Indo-European (meaning “stench”). 🤓

              I see. And that smerda word is saved in slavic languages, the earliest entry I remember is a class of citizens in Kiyvan Rus’: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smerd But other than that it’s used now to describe an ugly scent. Yet, I haven’t thought of that connection before you said it (:

    I once worked for a criminally-French chef whom I personally witnessed him asking a fairly new hire one fine morning, (please, read this in the thickest, no-fucks-given S. French accent.)

    Musk?

      It seems he’s more useful than we give him credit for.

      Musk is often associated with religious significance. In Islam, Musk is considered to be the most fragrant of the scents. It was widely used by the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions. Alexander the Great, whom Islamic tradition identifies as the Qur’anic figure Dhu al-Qarnayn, is also said to have transpired the odour of Musk. Popular scents in Arab Muslim tradition include jasmine, amber, Musk and oud (agarwood).

      Musk has been used to attract wild animals, including in man-made perfume mixtures. For example, in 2018 Indian authorities used the perfume Obsession by Calvin Klein to attract and thus trap a wild tiger that had attacked and killed more than a dozen humans.

      Musk sticks, which are artificially flavoured with a substance that is reminiscent of Musk perfume, are a popular confection in Australia.

      Poaching the rich sounds more compelling than eating them anyway.

    I was thinking Sadim, which is Midas spelled backwards, but Mierdas as @darkdemize@ said is way better.

      If there’s Mid-ass, are we to believe there’s a Top-ass too? Top-ass… It sounds precious and expensive.

    Capitalist.

    The word you are looking for is “capitalist”.
