What does “shit” mean?
shit
Oh okay, this one's important to know! 😄
So "shit" is a rude word for the waste that comes out of your body when you go to the bathroom. That's the original, literal meaning.
But honestly, people use it for SO much more. It can mean "stuff" or "things" — like "I left all my shit at home" just means "I left all my stuff at home." It can also show surprise or frustration — if you drop your phone, you might say "Oh shit!" It can mean something is bad — "That movie was shit." Or even something is serious/real — "Things got real shit real fast."
You'll hear it constantly in casual speech, movies, music — pretty much everywhere informal.
Just know it's considered rude, so don't use it in formal situations! 😅
