English term or phrase: the kid with the poopy diapers!

Arabic translation:صاحب مصادر المعلومات
Explanation:
Now "poop" as a salng stands for "inside information"

Going for that, I'd explain it as the following:

Kid: resource (the person providing him/her with the info)
Poopy diaper: poop would be the inside information hidden within the diaper!

The image is disgusting if you ask me, but I believe the speaker is indicating (s*h*i*t*t*y) inside information.

Poopy diapers = dirty (even loaded with dirt) diapers.

I may express it as: صاحب علبة الأسرار in Arabic as well. Where علبة = diaper, kid = صاحب, poop = أسرار .... YAAAAAK!

neutral  Mohamed Ghazal: I really have my doubts about this one, Dina. It is very tricky to slice the term up like that and then put it together again. I guees more context would've helped. Great effort though.

  -> I agree, but searching for the whole phrase had zero results, and viewing the previous questions of the asker provided me with some context though ... well ... it made sense to me having it translated that way :)
