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!

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
