flashh4 Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Got this from my sister today.Think about it. Hope this word does not hurt anyones ears !!The Most Functional English Word? Well, it's shit...that's right, shit!Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.Consider: You can get shit-faced, Be shit out of luck, or have shit for brains. With a little effort, you can get your shit together, Find a place for your shit, Or be asked to shit or get off the pot. You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit. Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between Shit and Shineola. There are lucky shits, dumb shits, crazy shits, There is bull shit, horse shit and chicken shit. You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan. You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle. You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit. Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty. Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit. You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit. You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek without a paddle. Sometimes every thing you touch turns to shit other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose. When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language. And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else! You could pass this along, if you give a shit. Or not do so, If you don't give a shit! Well Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do Give A Shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit head........Well, SHIT HAPPENS!

blim Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Oh, how true!When Son was around two years old, he started using that word occasionally Hubby asked, "Do you even know what that word means?"He answered, "well, yes, that's what you say when you drop or break something"I had to start watching my mouth after that......(I'm clumsy)He did replace it with "S-Word!" (and "Holy S-Word!" when he was excited about something), which gave his preschool teacher fits of laughter.And I'm sending him this! Thanks, Flash!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thesidekickcat Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ha Ha Ha!!!That was so funny!!! I remember when a friend's little girl was a toddler that her mother and I had to clean up our occasional potty mouths (I wasn't a Christian back then), and oh how hard that one word was to drop from my vocabulary. And she knew I wasn't supposed to say it because she would go tattle to either my friend or my hubby if I slipped in it. Now she has little ones and has to watch her own mouth...poetic justice!!! And I still have three or four words, including that one, that slip out once in a long while when I am mad or hurt. OOPS!!! PatGod bless everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Here's a new perspective, Pat. A British friend of mine, who is a Pastor's wife and a Missionary's Daughter throws that word around casually when referring to horse manure--in England, it just means "poop", nothing else! She has raised some eyebrows when discussing gardening with the "church ladies" Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
