I know that could refer to many things, but let's narrow the focus. Way back when, the distinct odor de poop could be detected as you headed down Eastside towards U cove (notoriously nicknamed "Stinky Cove") Just happens to be the site of one of the two lift stations that service our sewer system.
Fast Forward.
There is a relatively new social media site, already fairly popular at Weatherby Lake and other neighborhoods, Nextdoor Neighbor (https://weatherbylake.nextdoor.com/news_feed/).

yes, I have smelly issues, comes and goes, I thought it was just me.
From a great builder at Weatherby Lake in years gone by and rest in peace Bob Mason who passed about 10 days ago, his advice to me about 20 years ago as follows: water in an open floor drain will eventually evaporate in the P Trap and what you are smelling are sewer gases. So pour water in the offending drain to almost full then add a teaspoon of cooking oil. Problem solved. The oil sits on top of the water and will never evaporate. If the oil is flushed down the pipe you will need a little more cooking oil
