17	'''Cadpig:''' I always wanted to get good and dirty!
18	-->-- ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''
19
20	Basically, this is a trope for when somebody finds playing in dirt and getting dirty enjoyable. Especially common if the character is ThePigPen or HatesBaths, however, they may not mind getting clean, they might just enjoy getting dirty. [[MessyPig Pigs]] are common for this.
21
22	Someone who believes that this kind of activity is fun might have trouble getting along with a NeatFreak who won't let them play in the mud or gets cross when they dirty their clothes. The messy character might view the neat freak as being [[TheBore boring]] or a killjoy, which might result in SlobsVersusSnobs being in play.
23
24	Sometimes, the neat freak character gets in on the messy fun too after accidentally getting dirt on them, but other times they don't. Has [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant nothing to do with]] ''that'' kind of {{Filth}}.
