Etymology
This word probably comes from Old English, has a noun scite (dirt, proved only in place names) and scitte (diarrhea) and verb sc? Tan (for defecation, proved only in besc? Tan , to cover with dirt); finally morphed into Middle English sch? tee (dirt), schyt (diarrhea) and shiten (defecation), and it's almost certain that it is used in some form by the Germanic preliterate tribe on the time of the Roman Empire. The word may be traced further to Proto-Germanic * skits -, and finally to Proto-Indo-European * skheid - "cut, separated", the same root is believed has become the word warehouse . The word has some cognate words in modern Germanic, like German ScheiÃÆ'Ã

Usage
The word shit (also shite in English and Hiberno-English) is usually avoided in formal speech. The substitute verb to shit in English includes shoot , shucks and sugar .
In the literal sense of the word, it has a rather small range of general usage. Specific or collectible grime is generally dirt or some dirt ; one dirt deposit is sometimes dirt or a piece of dirt ; and to defecate is for dirt or to take away dirt . While it is common to talk about dirt as it is in stacks , loads , a hunk , and the quantity and other configuration, such expressions develop most strongly in figurative. For practical purposes, when the bowel movements and the actual debris are discussed, it is either through creative euphemism or with vague and fairly rigid literalism.
A piece of dirt can also be used figuratively to describe a very disgusting individual, or a poor quality item ("this car is a piece of dirt ", often shortened to "POS").
One recent study argues that "dirt study" is a meta-disciplinary field of rhetorical investigation of human communication and reasoning. The authors explain, "rhetorical studies have theorized 'dirt' in terms of communication of transformation, style, and textual relationships," especially in relation to claims of expertise on topics such as "anti-semitism" and "wine tasting." They conclude that the nonsense speech is one side of an impenetrable discourse because it contains "ideological barriers to mutualism expectations," working to deflect critical responses.

It's common for someone to refer to the unpleasant thing as nonsense ( you get a speeding ticket? Man, that's a loud crap ), but the sentence is hard unlucky is used as a sympathetic way to say too bad to anyone who is having trouble ( you are caught? Damn hard, buddy! ) or as a way of expressing to someone they need to stop complaining about something and fix it (Billy: I was arrested for you! Tommy: Damn hard, man, you know you might get arrested when you choose to come with me. ) Note that in this case, as in many cases with the term, hard poop is often said to be a way of showing one's own faults. current problem.

Often reduced to "when fans hits" in a polite society. He is the one who turns away when his shit about the fan is an indication that the person in question is reliable and will not run away from the problem or leave their allies in difficult situations. The concept of this phrase is quite simple, since the actual substance attacking the rotating propellers of the fan will cause a messy and unpleasant situation (such as being in the presence of a fertilizer spreader). Whether this really happened or whether the concept is worthy enough for most people to imagine the result without being demonstrated, is unknown. Another example might be a saying saying rolling droppings , a metaphor that indicates that a problem for a manager can be transferred to a subordinate. There are a number of anecdotes and jokes about such situations, because the image of this situation is considered funny. This is generally tied to the concept that disgusting and messy objects that spill over to others are funny.
Displeasure
Shit can comfortably stand for bad terms and anything in many instances ( Dinner is good, but the movie is ugly. You're all mad at me, but I do not do anything! ). Comparison can also be used, as in The pants look like dirt , or This object feels like dirt . Many uses are idiomatic.

The term piece of dirt is generally used to classify a product or service as sufficient under the author's understanding of generally accepted quality standards to be negligible and perhaps even negative. The term piece of dirt has greater precision than dirt or sucks in that case a piece of dirt identifies the low quality of the component or the specific output of a process without applying oblique slant to the whole process. For example, if someone says "The inner city youth orchestra has been a very successful initiative because it has kept young people out of school after school and exposed them to culture and discipline, thereby increasing their self-esteem and future prospects The fact that the recent appearance of Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony orchestra in B minor is part of the filth should not in any way reduce this. " Substitution dirt or sucks because quite a lot of nonsense will imply irony and therefore will weaken the power of the statement.

Domination
Shit can also be used to build superiority over other creatures. The most common sentence is eating dirt! expressing resentment at the recipient. Some other personal words can be added like eating my shit implying a completely personal connotation. As an aside, the above is actually a contraction of the sentence eating dirt and dying! .

Fucking hot can also refer to someone who overestimates his or her own value or ability, or is highly esteemed by someone else ("He thinks it's bullshit!" or "He's just bullshit!").

In the North American slang, the prefix the to shit gives it a completely opposite definition, which means the best , as in the Altered Beast is dirt , or The Oregon Trail is dirt . Other slang words with the same meaning, such as bullshit , are not used in those locations. Shortening bullshit
Expression no shit? (contraction no bullshit? ) is used in response to remarkable or unbelievable statements. Alternative hard-to-believe statements can add no shit to strengthen the sincerity or truthfulness of their statements, especially in response to someone expressing distrust in their statements. No nonsense is also used sarcasticly in response to clear statements, as in no nonsense, Sherlock .
In this form it can also be used in phrases like do not give me that crap or you are full of dirt . The term full of dirt is often used as an exclamation point to bill someone believed to be susceptible to dishonesty, exaggeration or "false" to the charge. As an example:
- "Oh, sorry I forgot to invite you to the party, it was an accident... But you really did not miss anything."
- "You are full of garbage! You have plenty of opportunities to invite me If you have a problem with me, why not say it!"
The bullshit word also indicates incorrect or inaccurate discourse. ( Horseshit roughly equivalent, while chickenshit means cowardice , batshit indicates someone is crazy, apeshit indicates someone enters a high level of excitement or uncontrollable anger.) Are you getting rid of ?! are questions that are sometimes given in response to remarkable statements. The answer confirming the truth of his claim is, I do not care about you .
Emphasis
Perhaps the only constant connotation that dirt reliably carries is that the references hold some degree of emotional intensity for the speaker. Whether a violation is taken when hearing the word varies greatly with the listener and the situation, and is related to age and social class: old speakers and people from (or aspire to) higher socioeconomic strata tend to use it more personally and selectively than the younger and more blue-collar speakers.
As the word fuck , shit is often used to emphasize more than adding meaning, for example, unlucky! I was so scared of the shindead that I threw it out of the karate game! The term to shit-talk connotes bragging or excessive (whereas to speak nonsense mainly means to gossip [about a person by destroying] or speak arrogantly about things that are wrong in nature), but in the construction as above, the word dirt often functions as an exclamation.
Unlike the fuck , shit is not used empathetically with -ing or as an infix. As an example; I lost in a bad karate game will be replaced with ... a fucking karate game . Similarly, while in-shit-credible is generally accepted, in-relieved-credible is not.
The verb "to shit"
Preterite and past participle of shit are evidenced as shat , shit , or shitted , depending on the dialect and, sometimes, the rhythm of the sentence. In the prologue The Canterbury Tales , shitten used as past participle; But this shape is not used in modern English. In English American dirt as past participle is often true, while shat is generally acceptable and shitting is unusual and is lost from Random House and American Heritage dictionary .
Backronyms
Backronym shape "S.H.I.T." often as a joke, such as High Intensity Special Training (famous jokes used in job apps), Hot Heat Interdiction Teams (SWAT ridicule), Super Hackers Invitational Tournament , and any college name beginning with SH (such as Sam Houston Institute of Technology or South Harmon Technology Institute in the 2006 film Received or Saving Height In Transit in the 2006 film Kenny ). South Hudson Institute of Technology is sometimes used to describe the United States Military Academy at West Point. Apu is a graduate student at Springfield Heights Institute of Technology.
In polite companies, sometimes backronyms like Sugar Honey in Tea or Sugar Honey Iced Tea are used.
Merde "for" good luck "
In the ballet world, as in the more general theater, superstition states that it is bad luck to expect the player "luck" before the show (see break legs ). Instead, it's traditional to say "merde", which is French for "dirt". The origins of this tradition are unknown, but it may refer to the dirt left by horses from the many carriages attending popular performances, or alternatively perhaps derived from a warning to avoid stepping in the fertilizer of the days when dancers often share the stage by doing the animals.
Television use
Canada
In Canada, "dirt" is one of the words considered by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Board to be "abusive, abusive language intended for adults", acceptable for broadcast only after 21:00.
On the Canadian showcase show characters Trailer Park Boys often use the term "dirt". For example, the fictional trailer park supervisor James "Jim" Lahey uses many metaphors with a strange negative "dung" slang working on; in one episode, Mr. Lahey likens Ricky's ignorance to the "bullshit tsunami", while in another episode, Mr. Lahey says Bubbles, "hawk droppings dive low" because of his miserable behavior and company. The term "dirt" is also used in the title of the episode of the show, itself, for example, "The Winds of Shit", "A Shit Leopard Can not Change Its Spots", and "Never Cry Shitwolf".
Japanese
On Japanese TV, like anime, aired on American television, the words "dirt" and "nonsense" are not censored. This may be due to the ambiguity of the Japanese word "kuso", which also means harsh words that swear like "bullshit," "crude", "shit", or "shit". It appears in translation from translation that is not accurate or not equal to its meaning.
United Kingdom
The first person to say "shit" on British TV was John Cleese of the comedy group Monty Python, in the late 1960s, according to his own speech to Graham Chapman. However, this is not independently verified. The phrase "thick as a pig" was used in the BBC drama of 1969 The Big Flame . The word shit also appeared in the 1966 British film Cul-de-sac , which was probably already used by John Cleese.
United States
The word has become increasingly accepted on American cable television and satellite radio, which is not subject to FCC regulations. In other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, the word is permitted for use in television by the respective regional regulative councils, during use in the final hours when people young is not expected to watch. It has appeared on ABC News' 20/20.
"Dammit" is one of your original "Seven Words Can Not Play On TV", a routine comedy by American comedian George Carlin. In the United States, although the use of the word is censored on broadcast television networks (while synonyms are usually not subject to censorship), the FCC allows for some exceptions. As an example:
- October 14, 1999 Chicago Hope is the first show (excluding the documentary) on US network television that contains the word shit in an uncensored form.
- This word is also used in the next episode of ER next "On the Beach" by Dr. Mark Greene, in the late stages of a deadly brain tumor. Although this episode aired uncensored, the word "junk" was edited in syndication reruns.
- Episode South Park , "It's Hits the Fan" (original broadcast June 20, 2001), parodied hype over the episode of Chicago Hope . In it, "dirt" is used 162 times, and counters in the corner of the screen count the repetitions (excluding 38 instances of using the word in written form, raising the total to 200). South Park airs on American cable networks, which are outside the FCC regulatory jurisdiction and which censor vulgar dialogue at the discretion of the cable operator.
Since that episode, the word has become a mainstay of South Park and other Comedy Central series, along with programming on other cable networks including FX, TBS, and in March 2014, Adult Swim. The episode of Graceland , in the USA Network, also uses "dirt" on a regular basis.
Radio usage
United States
Unlike satellite radio, American terrestrial radio stations must comply with FCC guidelines on obscenity to avoid penalties. This guide does not define precisely what is obscenity, but has been interpreted by some commissioners including all forms of words such as dirt and make love â ⬠, for anything that used.
Nevertheless, the word has been featured in popular songs that have appeared on broadcast radio in cases where the use of the word does not sound obvious to ordinary listeners, or on live television. As an example:
- In the song "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains, the line "Buried in my nonsense" is played unedited in most rock radio stations.
- The 1973 Pink Floyd song "Money" from the album The Dark Side of the Month contains the lines "Do not give me good bullshit," and has been broadcasted uneducously on US Radio.
- REO Speedwagon's 1980 hit album Hi Infidelity contains the song "Tough Guys" which has a line "he thinks they're full of shit," which is played on radio broadcasts.
- On December 3, 1994, Green Day performed "Geek Stink Breath", on Saturday Night Live , dirt not edited from live broadcast tape. The band did not appear on the show again until April 9, 2005.
Some important examples of word censorship from television and radio broadcasts include:
- Steve Jet "Jet Airliner." Although radio stations sometimes play unedited versions that contain a "funky shit down line in the city." The songs were also released with a "radio edit" version, replacing "funky shit" with "funky kicks". Another version of "Jet Airliner" is where the word "dirt" disappears.
- Likewise, Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" has a line about not having "what type of dirt is going down" idea, and having a non-worded radio edit version.
- The "Hollaback Girl" video Gwen Stefani uses the original album of the censored word in her video.
- The title of the music video "... on Radio (Remember the Days)" by Nelly Furtado was replaced by the original title "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)."
- This also happened to "That That Shit" by Snoop Dogg featuring R. Kelly, who became "That's That".
- In Avril Lavigne's song "My Happy Ending," the Disney Radio edit of this song replaces "all the crap you do" with "all the things you do."
- Likewise, in the song "London Bridge" by members of Black Eyed Peas Fergie, the phrase "Oh Sial" is repeatedly used as a background line. Edit radio from this song replaces "Oh Shit" with "Oh Snap."
