weird words

[deird1]

I have a longer post coming (hopefully) about why I love superheroes, but right now the word nerd in me is geeking out, and I have to share.

It is fascinating that the English language not only uses excrement as an adjective, but uses it as different adjectives depending on which animal did the excreting.

Chickenshit = scared
Bullshit = nonsense
Dogshit = really sucky
Batshit = crazy

...and somehow we all just know this.

Have you seen Ismo Leikola's stand-up routine about the words 'shit' and 'ass'? Because I think they'd be relevant to your interests :D
