    It works in English since it looks like “silt” which is really fine river sediment that could be easily and messily flung at rich assholes.

      Yes that’s the same word.

      Definitions from Oxford Languages silt Origin: late Middle English: probably originally denoting a salty deposit and of Scandinavian origin, related to Danish and Norwegian sylt ‘salt marsh’, also to salt.

      The word has since been exchanged back. Silt in Danish also means fine dirt, borrowed from the English word.
