A turd (in the literal sense); children's playground slang from Melbourne in the 1980's.
A few entries in the Urban Dictionary for borry or Borrie at Urban Dictionary at [1], including "Regional Australian slang word for shit." "in 1924, Edwin Fullarton Borrie became Melbourne's first drains engineer, earning him the legacy of naming rights for a Lake Borrie - The wetlands in the middle of the infamous Werribee sewage treatment plant. He also earned the honour of becoming synonomous with shit."
The latter is partially validated at [2]: "On returning to the Board of Works, he gave his attention to extending the sewerage system and to planning for growth." 1.145.49.220 11:35, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
