[Ads-l] Detrius surely counts, too

[W Brewer]

RE:  Detritus & the Gladiators.
     But all seriousness aside, maybe <detrius> is a Cockney-like version
of <detritus> with a glottal stop:
<detri'us> [deh-TROY-?us].
<<Run down the bligh(t)ers, don't stop for detri(t)us, / Just get me to the
church on time!>>
