sponge bag

A small bag to carry sponges used during Roman times to cleanse after clearing bowels. Sometimes sponge would be mounted on a stick. Giving us the term "The shitty end of the stick" if the user grabbed the wrong end when reaching into the sponge bag
"Brutus grabbed the shitty end of the stick by mistake when reaching into his sponge bag"
