Shit is still faeces, right?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Shit seems to be an all-purpose noun/adjective these days, even contradicting any definition it may have in dictionarys worldwide. It can be bad, but more so these days, it can be good. Observe:

That is pure shit. (Bad)
That is shit hot.(Good)

That guy is a shit brick.(Bad)
That guy is a brick shit house.(Good)

This is shit.(Bad)
This is the shit!(Good)

Are you shitting me?(Bad)
That shit is the truth.(Good)

This shit is fucked up.(Bad)
This shit is bananas.(Good)

Shit, man. I missed my bus.(Bad)
Shit, man! I ain’t seen you since high school!(Good)

I got to take a shit real bad.(Bad)
I’m gonna see how much shit i can take before the cops arrive.(Good) (?)

I can’t take this shit anymore!(Bad)
I’m gonna have that shit tomorrow for breakfast. (Good)

Well? Any other examples of the universal nature of shit?

The venerable “dude” serves much the same purpose, and can mean one of thousands of things depending entirely on inflection.

But if you really want to blow your mind, look up “set” in the OED.

3

“Fuck” can be used for virtually any purpose, in almost any context, in all parts of speech.

4

Like “Fuck the fucking fuckers.”

5

Not in America, it ain’t. Don’t y’all be tryin’ to push any of that lily livered “ae” nonsense around here!

6

How can it be used as an adverb? He fucked…fuckidly?

7

Nor is it a good preposition - “I set the book fuck the table” . . . “I walked fuck work this morning” - just doesn’t work out.

It’s not a good pronoun either, whereas “dude” works well for that purpose: “Did you see what just happened? Dude tried to steal my wallet!”

8

My finances are way be-fucking-low the poverty line. Preposition.

I told him reso-fucking-lutely, I ain’t doing it.

Yep, fuck is my favorite word. Absofuckinglutely.

9

No, that’s just “fucking” as an infix in another word as an intensifier. This is a well-documented linguistic phenomenon, but it sure ain’t an adverb or preposition in either of those sentences. And “be-fucking-low” sounds ungrammatical to me anyway.

10

I like shit. :slight_smile:

11

Sorry, meant that entirely tongue in cheek. And yeah, be-fucking-low is a stretch, couldn’t come up with a better example off the top of my head.

12

Fuck{er|head|face|hole|nugget|wicket|-a-diddly idjit} tried to steam my wallet!

Seems perfectly good to me :smiley:

13

Um…right after he stole it.

stupid fingers

14

Steam your wallet? That shit ain’t funny.

15

And shit happens.
Far more than fuck happens if your sweetie is pissed at you…

16

And it’s some good shit. Outfuckingstanding.

17

Unless your “shitfaeced”.

18

Dude, don’t give me none of that fucking shit.

19

Oh shit he’s fucking pissed now. Gonna beat the shit out of us, we are scared shitless. No shit. We’re in the shit now. Probably thinks his shit don’t stink :smiley:
