is the shit

a phrase that implies the exact opposite of what it entails, instead of a negative connotation. Many a netizen have mistaken "is the shit" for implying what it literally means. What doesn't help is those who use it incorrectly as well. The plural form of "is the shit" is "are the shit".
Example 1: Damn! Lady GaGa is the shit because she is a more smarter and sluttier whore Britney Spears will ever be.

Example 3: That bitch's tits are the shit!

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
