The word shit (or sometimes shite [to rhyme with bite] in Scotland (depending on context), Ireland, Northern England and Lincolnshire), is used by English speakers, but it is considered an obscenity, and thus is usually avoided in formal speech. A less vulgar substitute is crap, which while still impolite and/or emphatic, is not considered obscene. The correct vernacular usage of crap is mostly identical, with certain key exceptions (see below). Many people receive satisfaction from the usage of the word and see it as, subsequently, a good way to relieve stress. Such phrases include Oh shit!, or the more polite Shit-ake Mushrooms!.
Used in a sentence one may say 'I have shit on my shoe', 'You smell like shit!', or perhaps 'you are a shit faced shit-head'. These can refer to the literal meaning or merely as a vulgar insult. The word may also be used when referring to something seen as appealing, as in, 'It's the shit.'
In the word's literal sense, it has a rather small range of common usages. In American English, an unspecified or collective occurrence of feces is generally shit or some shit, a single deposit of feces is sometimes a shit or a piece of shit, and to defecate is to shit, or counterintuitively to take a shit. Often one describes a particularly intense bowel movement as 'taking a wicked shit'. While it is common to speak of shit as existing in a pile, a load, a hunk and other quantities and configurations, such expressions flourish most strongly in the figurative. For practical purposes, when actual defecation and excreta are spoken of in English, it is either through creative euphemism (pinching a loaf, laying some cable, seeing Mr. Brown off to the coast,squeezing off a round, dropping the kids off at the pool, brewing up a pot of s.h.i. tea, laying a fresh man-biscuit, jettison a spent carbon-fuel rod, releasing the prisoners, lighting a bum cigar, cutting a log, dropping a deuce, making sausages, making butterfinger bb's, punching a grumper, busting a grumpy, releasing the demons, dropping a charge (or depth charge), greeting the night, splitting the corn, taking a ride down the sunshine highway, seeing a man about a horse or wallaby', 'planting a brown carrot', 'giving birth to a food baby, 'dropping a dagger', 'paying tribute to Dutch porn', "taking the Browns to the Superbowl", bending a biscuit,negotiating the release of the chocolate hostages) or with a vague and fairly rigid literalism. In the United States Army, the euphemism 'executing a class one download' has become popular.
Most expressively, shit carries an encompassing variety of figurative meanings. Of these, perhaps the most common are generic expressions of displeasure (as in, Shit!), fear (Oh, shit!), or surprise (Holy shit!).
Shit denotes trouble, as in, I was in a lot of shit; low quality, as in, That disk drive is shit (see "piece of shit" below); unpleasantness, as in, Those pants look like shit, or This casserole tastes like shit; or falsehood or insincerity, as in, Don't give me that shit, or You're full of shit or surprised anger Jim is totally going to flip a shit when he sees that we wrecked his bike. The word bullshit also denotes false or insincere discourse. (Horseshit is roughly equivalent, while chickenshit means cowardly, batshit indicates a person is crazy, and going apeshit indicates a person is entering a state of unbridled rage.). Are you shitting me!? is a question sometimes given in response to an incredible assertion. An answer that reasserts the veracity of the claim is, I shit you not.
Similarly "Shit" can also be used to establish superiority over another being. The most common phrase is "Eat Shit!" symbolizing the hatred towards the resipiant. Some other personal word may be added such as "Eat my shit" implying truely persononal conotations.
Shit can also be used as a comparative noun; for instance, This show is funny as shit (or sometimes shite [to rhyme with bite] in Scotland (depending on context), Ireland, Northern England and Lincolnshire), or This test is hard as shit(or shite), or That was stupid as shit(e). For the third example here, stupid can be replaced with a synonym such as dumb or idiotic, although idiotic is uncommonly used and would sound out of place in this phrase. These three usages (with funny, hard, and stupid or another synonym of stupid) are heard most commonly in the United States. Note that shit is both a positive and negative thing in these examples, shit being apparently very funny (a positive thing) and in the second and third examples very hard (as in, difficult- a negative thing to be) or very stupid. Note also that in a phrase like this, the speaker doesn't include the term as before the comparison- saying that something is as funny as shit would sound like a criticism to anyone reading the term (shit not being a very funny thing to be), although if spoken could be understood along with the spirit it's said in. Using the as changes these phrases from a simple colloquialism to a literal statement.
