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!
