Shit

If you don't know what shit is you have shit for brains. I do have a nice bit to add on the origin of the word though.

ORIGIN: Hundreds of years ago in England manure was shipped as fertilizer by sea to famers for use on their fields. The ships that they used to haul this nasty freight were wooden and the smell of fresh shit made the sailors sick. Some sailors started storing the shit deep in the hull and even attempted to seal off the smell. Unfortunatey, the methane gas from all the manure built up and as soon as some poor sailor came by with a lit pipe or a lantern... BOOM!!!

To avoid this, sailors realized they had to let the dangerous cargo air out, and that manure was only safe at the top of the frieght stacks in the ocean breeze. Crates holding manure had the abbreviation S.H.I.T. on them to remind sailors to Ship High In Transit. Thus, the term shit was born and went on to become one of the most beloved and interchangable curse words in English history. Now ain't that some fascinating shit?
Shit can mean anything from the lowest of the low to the greatest of the great!

Ex2: Rush Limbaugh is a lardass, hypocritical, lying, bigoted, drug addicted, narrow-minded, arrogant, and self-obsessed piece of toxic shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
