Jun 2, 2007. #3. In English"to be in the shit" is an old vulgar expression for"to be in trouble." The US Army adopted this"in the shit" to mean"in a combat zone." That association of 'shit' gave rise, among soldiers, to"same shit, different day" which in Army slang is actually acronymized to SSDD.

English - Canada. Apr 16, 2015. #9. To me, it has to do with where the speaker puts the emphasis: You know shit = you know things. You know shit = you know nothing. But if you know jack shit, of course, you're completely ignorant.

(And [I can't believe I'm agreeing with George French about something] for me shite is even worse than plain old shit) If you're determined to avoid using shit, you could always say Holy crap! which ~ to me ~ is a good deal more humorous than undiluted Crap! But if you're determined to have a one-word expletive, Shit! is the only one that works ...

Southern AE greatly modified by a 1st-generation Scottish-American mother, and growing up abroad. Sep 1, 2006. #3. In AE"I just about shit myself" is the gold standard of scatalogical expressions in the past tense. Shat is a variant a lot of people use in a mock-formal tone, to be funny. I think in general it is a pretty funny word.

Oct 28, 2017. #1. Jess's family has just moved to the countryside. In town, she gets to know a guy during a street baseball game in which he's participating. She makes a throw and it goes into the basket, then she says to him that she used to play the game. GUY: Well, the girls' team here is for shit. [then throws the ball but misses the basket]

Senior Member. USA. English (American) Oct 28, 2008. #3. Once you've introduced"shit" into a personal expression, I don't think you need to worry about nuance. They mean the same thing, but.... you'd normally say it about some thing rather than a person, and you'd say it isn't worth (a) shit. Ciao, Elisabetta.

Mar 19, 2007. #6. 'Shedload' has made it into the Oxford English Dictionary: 'a large amount or number - frequently used in the plural; in the singular usually with of. The dictionary's examples are all from British papers and magazines. Like Josh, the dictionary suspects it is a 'euphemistic alteration of shitload '.

Bullshit : nonsense"That explanation was a bunch of bullshit." Horseshit: Also nonsense, but a bit more emphatic."I am so tired of that utter horseshit." Chickenshit: cowardice"That was chickenshit of him to break-up with her by email." Batshit: crazy"His stupid questions were making me batshit."
