In belgium every village or town has a nickname for the people living

(Schaarbeek which is one of the 19 communes which make up brussels it's
"donkeys"). But  was born in Alsemberg, a small village near Brussels and
the nickname there was "stair-shitters" : people who shit on stairs

OK -- I can't let this past...chicken eaters...hmmmm fair enough, "donkeys" 
- no idea what it has to do with Schaarbeek but OK but "stair 
shitters"?????  I have to know...origin? fable? mysterious apparitions?
