SHIT is a vernacular word in Modern English denoting the feces, the solid byproduct of digestion. (see link below)Apparently in Europe, especially among expatriot Frenchmen, scatological references are thought of as clever when tossed out euphemistically to convey a "hipper" understanding of conversational English. Notice how the word "shit" virtually rolls off of patrick's tongue. ;^)
Does that help? :o)
