Human waste plumbing / to creep

Wolves home oceans
Wolves home oceans
Wolves home oceans
Wolves home oceans

Wolves home oceans

Wolves home oceans

Hint

This is one of those synonym type of solutions. The answer is two words and below is a break up of the clues to help solve and combine them. Please note that each separation isn't necessarily one syllable. I have indicated how many syllables make up each part of the word:

1st word: Human waste plumbing (2) / to creep (2)
2nd word: Wolves home (1) / oceans (1)

There is one more thing to figure out but that is fairly obvious so I'll leave that to you ;o).

The whole answer describes a condition that isn't particularly good and someone experiencing this needs help.

MysticGohan789 Feb 08, 2003	good teaser, i only got 20% of this one right
electronjohn Feb 10, 2003	This one is so hard I almost killed myself trying to solve it! Great job coming up with this one.
griphook Feb 13, 2003	Tendencies was not a problem. Sewer was reasonble. Sidle was difficult because who would really think it is among the synonyms of creep. But the hints were useful. Very creative.
dsquared Feb 13, 2003	Thanks all.. it was a bit of work to get it to do what I wanted and it is tough to always get it completely watertight... I'm pleased you enjoyed it though - thanks for the comments.
jiminycricket128 Feb 23, 2003	That's so amazing! How did you come up with something like that? I wouldn't have the time!!
dsquared Feb 23, 2003	Tricks of language and my brain tend to go hand in hand Jiminy... honestly I scare myself sometimes with some of the things that come out of my noggin. I do enjoy spending time on a teaser though to try and get it as tight and 'clever' as possible. Thanks for stopping by ;P .
Bobbrt Feb 24, 2003	As an editor who has read every one of Dsquared's submissions, I would like to add that it frightens me, too. ;)
dsquared Feb 24, 2003	LOL!... Now they know the truth Bob, you didn't have to go tell 'em that .
(user deleted) Mar 10, 2003	I agree, this one was pure genius!! I had the 'tendencies' part pretty quick, but that last part had me quite stumped!! Beautiful!!
zipman Mar 10, 2003	Very clever!!!
lauramarie Mar 10, 2003	excellent hint
Pheonix_down Mar 10, 2003	I never knew sidle meant creeping, good one!
nuttiekiwis263 Mar 10, 2003	Muy excellente!!!!!!
tangerine May 24, 2004	Nicely done, but quite challenging. I couldn't solve it ...
dsquared May 24, 2004	Thanks everyone for stopping by and adding your thoughts .
Vudluxi May 28, 2006	Really well thought out, but don't wolves live in lairs and foxes live in dens? I would have got it quicker but was wondering what lairseas was representing
dsquared May 28, 2006	Pretty sure wolves live in a den as well... Den of wolves is an expression I've heard. I can certainly see where your confusion came in though
grungy49 Aug 26, 2006	That was really hard. Great teaser.
dsquared Aug 28, 2006	Thanks
ahesselgrave Mar 28, 2008	Wow i would have never suspected that! great job
bradon182001 Jun 06, 2009	Definitely not going into my favorites, but thanks for posting.
