Language Shit
Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 06:18 PM by Karenina

THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD

Well, it's shit... that's right, shit!
Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language
Consider:

You can get shit-faced,

Be shit-out-of-luck

Have shit for brains

Or not know jack shit (go here for an introduction: http://home.pacbell.net/diana_do/knowjack.htm)

With a little effort:
You can get your shit together,

Find a place for your shit, or be asked to shit or get off the pot.

You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit,
forget shit,
And tell others to eat shit (and die).

Some people know their shit:

While others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola.

There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits.
There is bull shit,
Horse shit
Chicken shit.
You can throw shit

Sling shit
Catch shit
Shoot the shit
Or duck when the shit hits the fan.
You can give a shit or

Serve shit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep shit

Be happier than a pig in shit.

Some days are colder than shit

Some days are hotter than shit,

And some days are just plain shitty.

Some music sounds like shit

Things can look like shit
And there are times when you feel like shit

You can have too much shit

Not enough shit

The right shit
The wrong shit or
A lot of weird shit.
You can carry shit,

Have a mountain of shit

Or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle.
Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit

And other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling
like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building
block of the English language.

And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know
anything else!!

You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you
don't give a shit!

Well Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I
do give a shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit.

But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head...

Well, just remember Shit Happens!!!

6. meh, perhaps
but shit doesn't have the usefulness and forcefulness of fuck

as dane cook said, once someone says "fuck you" there is NO comeback. Go ahead, try. The only equal thing is "fuck you" back at them, which is lamer than saying nothing

10. There is a comeback for the FU phrase.
Words such as Really, OK, Disgusting, No thanks can work. Turn the phrase around to the point that you're interpreting their FU as being a literal request for them to fornicate with you. In a professional environment once someone uses the F word, then they've lost it. In a more casual setting it indicates that they're losing it.

Mark.

11. Gute Besserung Schatzi!
Just got this response from my brother:

I'm sick as shit about hearing shit about shit... Right now, we're going
through a lot of shit, people giving us shit, asking us shit, but not giving a shit. I dont really give a shit, however, because I know that shit happens and that people in this industry are full of shit most of the time; walking around like their shit don't stink. FUCK THEM!! Excuse me.... SHIT THEM!!; Like a high colonic coffee enema shit, right out of the system... Fact is, we are the shit, always will be the shit and the only reason why people give us shit is becaust they ain't shit.... and shit.. You're right.. the word is pretty
useful..
