"sheeeit" ) shit- (pronounced shiit )- sympathetic such as "i loaned my car to fred and he wrecked it." "shiit" shitfaced- really drunk "i got shitfaced last night" shit for brains- stupid "hey, shit for brains!" shit- things and goings-on that you dont like "clean up this shit" "you've got some shit on your face" "I'm tired of your shit." "Dont give me any shit" shit-- marijuana "this is great shit, lets roll another" For more uses of shit i suggest watching "trailer park boys" which while it is Canadian has great examples of ways to use shit. oh and as of yet i think im the only one using it but i'm trying to bring into use "shit-tastic" Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: some more shit Posted Aug 5, 2007 by alypop This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 I had an English friend who pointed out that Americans seem competely focused on our "backsides". He noted; Everyone is an "asshole" Don't be an ass. Kiss my ass. Ass-backwards. Pain in the ass. Kick in the ass. Can't drive to save your ass. As well as all of the shit references. This car is a piece of shit I feel like shit Shit-for-brains Deep shit Wouldn't say shit if you had a mouthful of it. I got shit-faced last night I have a shitload of work to do. There's lots more.

The Midwest is also famose for it's other "clean" curse words, such as 'fudge,' 'cripes,' 'Holy Moly/holy cow,' 'gosh,' 'dang/darn,' and the like.
