fatberg
名詞
fatberg (複数形 fatbergs)
- A large accumulation of fat and discarded toiletries which clogs sewers. [From the late 2000s.]
- 2013, Russ Litten, Swear Down[1], London: Tindal Street Press, →ISBN:
- Bleeding big fatberg up there. About half a ton's worth. [...] Gorman feels an involuntary shudder travel down his spine and agitate his stomach. He's seen those fatbergs on the training videos; huge accumulated walls of solidified grease and food and tissue and excrement, the churned result of everyday debris tipped down the domestic sinks and bathtubs and toilets of London.
- 2017 November 3, “‘Victory declared’ over 130 tonne Whitechapel fatberg”, in BBC News[2], archived from the original on 18 March 2018:
- A 250-metre long fatberg weighing 130 tonnes which was blocking an east London sewer has been cleared after a nine-week "battle". The solid mass of congealed fat, wet wipes, nappies, oil and condoms was found in the Victorian-era tunnel in Whitechapel in September. Thames Water said it had taken longer to clear than expected because of the damage it caused to the sewer.
- 2023 June 30, Marina Hyde, “The tide is coming in fast on Rishi Sunak – and it’s full of sewage”, in The Guardian[3]:
- Thames Water has become the latest object lesson in the predictable and predicted folly of privatised monopolies, aided by a regulator that’s an even bigger wet wipe than the fatbergs bunging up the sewers.
