Is this word Russian or Latvian? What does it mean?

I overheard a word when I was visiting Latvia and was curious to know what it means. An old lady said it when she (and I) saw a dog poo in the street and the owner walked straight on without stopping to pick it up. The word she said sounded like "zoorbst".

I speak both of the languages and honestly don't know what it could be. The closest interpretation would be 'zobārsts' - 'dentist', but that doesn't quite make any sense, does it?
Frankly, I don't know how 'zoorbst' would sound like, perhaps you could write it phonetically?

I once attended school with some Russian/Ukrainian Exchange students. Do you speak English well? Just wondering.
