shit, shave, shower and shine

Originating in the U.S. Army of WWII, this is the shorthand slogan to describe the hygiene preparation an enlisted soldier must do to ready himself for a military inspection by superiors.

"Shine" refers to the careful and thorough polishing of one's black military boots.

Now it has entered civilian use to mean preparation for any important social event in which one must look good, often abbreviated nowadays to just "shit, shave and shower".

Soldier 1: "We've got an inspection later today from the brass."

Soldier 2: "Guess it's time to shit, shave, shower and shine."

Shaveen

He is very shy at first, actually most of the time, but once you get to know him he won't shut up. He is cute and kind with a wonderful personality, he isn't very popular but has great friendships with all the people he love. He loves spending time with his friends. And unsurprisingly he gets along great with little kids. Yet, he is socially awkward, at times, especially around girls. But he can bring his explosive and bubbly personality almost randomly. He is smart but is usually not the best at math and a sport fanatic.

Wow, what a player?!
He must be a Shaveen:-)
