    • I suppose it's when you take your dog for a walk and you have to clean up behind it and you have a disposable bag and until you find a trash can you are "left holding the bag of dog crap".

    • It's more like when a bunch of guys make a big manure farm heist and the cops are chasing them, so they shove the bag of "goods" into the hands of an innocent bystander and the police shoot him on the spot. He didn't do it, he just got left holding the bag.
