ζύμη (Zume)
'Leaven' - Koine Greek
Used both literally and figuratively. The latter as in "inveterate mental and moral corruption, viewed in its tendency to infect others" for example:
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις ορατε και προσεχετε απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων
And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees (Matt 16:6)

σκυβαλον (skubalon)
The Koine Greek equivalent of the "s" word: any refuse, as the excrement of animals, offscourings, rubbish, dregs, garbage, used of things worthless and detestable.
This is a hapax legomenon in the New Testament used only here:
αλλα μενουνγε και ηγουμαι παντα ζημιαν ειναι δια το υπερεχον της γνωσεως χριστου ιησου του κυριου μου δι ον τα παντα εζημιωθην και ηγουμαι σκυβαλα ινα χριστον κερδησω
More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ Phil 3:8
