“ Shitberry , in the lower forms of speech, a name for many kinds of berries and the perennials that they bear, which the latter are probably called shitberry wood or shitberry bush.

Some want to guide it because the wood of some of these species of perennial gives good coal for gunpowder, so it was spoiled from gunberry; alone Adelung does not believe, but believes that he is than the invention of gunpowder in many, certainly older; he therefore believes that the foul taste of some of these berries, and in others their purging power, when consumed excessively, give rise to their name, which is more probable. However, this designation only applies to the common man or the large crowd, but has not passed into the higher colloquial language. "
