Shit can basically mean anything good, bad, ugly, or beautiful. It’s really an amazing word.

I just speak American English, so nothing too crazy. There’s the term fuckin’ a. It’s used by older generations I’d say. I’ve always just assumed the a stood for ass, which would be strange to censor ass after you said fuck. I recently looked into it and the a is for affirmative, and the term comes from military radio chatter. It basically means emphatically affirmative.
Another old time one is the whole shiterie, Meaning the whole thing or collection.
Another fun one is a brick shit house, meaning overly well built for what it’s used for.
There’s also shit on a shingle aka sos, which was a really basic diner food consisting of gravy on toast.
No it doesn’t. I can’t believe you’d say such a thing. Those were all well thought out and valid replies.

My post was mainly a joke, however, I find your comments extremely interesting and well worded.
That last example “забил хуй (zah-beel khooy)”. I find very amusing and I can grasp the feeling. Google translates it literally to being “Hammered the dick”.
Is that accurate?
I think slang and vulgar terms are fascinating and tell a lot about the culture that produced them. I even go so far as to say, swearing is one of the most illuminating things there is to language.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Speaking of the ongoing war, did you catch this video?

(Sorry for the Reddit link, it’s the only place I’ve seen it.)
How would you rate the translation of the subtitles?
No, we just have to get into a pedantic and derivative argument and we should be all good!
Tell ya what, you up vote it and I’ll down vote it and all should be right in the world.
I’ve been saying it for years, what is a dickshit?
Really profoundly unnecessary there pal.
That’s interesting and all, but I don’t think it qualifies as world news.
Yes I definitely did some save scuming, cuz I didn’t want to miss anything, but ultimately I think it’s best to just let it play out as it will. I need to do another run for sure.
But I do love the occasional Toddy and Crank.
Canada is north of America. North is typically depicted as being up, or on top.
Disco Elysium is probably one of the greatest works of art this century.
You got a hook fer me?
Username name checks out.
Yup that’s the one! Thanks.
Oh word. I was wondering what the fuck was going on. I’ll fix it. English major habits die hard lol.
Do you think it’s gotten any better?
Ain’t trying to die today I reckon.
