Dirt

In English, dirt can refer to several things:

• Soil on the ground. Although the term "dirt" is an often used subsitute for soil, a scientist would define dirt as material staining clothes or found under the fingernails — possibly coming from soil, but certainly not necessarily soil.
• A dirt road is, technically, an unimproved road.
• A colloquial term for negative information about a person. See also gossip

It can also be a slang term for disapproval or disgust.

• Dirt is also an album by grunge band Alice in Chains.
• It can also be found mainly on the ground.
