the ragbag: know your commonplace figurative uses of animal shit compounds
- bullshit · connotes hypocrisy, lies, and red tape as in why should i put up with all this bullshit?. to bullshit is to bluff or to make small talk.
- horseshit · connotes crumminess as in he did a horseshit job, and this motor is running horseshit.
- chickenshit · means “something petty”…
I hate it when people don’t know when to use their animal shits… along with their/they’re, this is one of the things that annoys me the most.
