"mentioned on the South Park episode. But the wikipedia article does not mention the word Shit developing near the time of the black plague and this being the reason for its taboo. Does anyone know anything about this? Is the wikipedia article lacking or did South Park lie about history? Jon in California  

 :As South Park is an entertainment Cartoon series it doesn't lie about anything it bearing shows what happended in the fictional South Park Universe.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by   •

 Bro who writes this down man!!! Good ""Shit"" Haha!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 ==Use as transitive verb== 

 In Australia and New Zealand, ""to shit"" is to cause great annoyance to someone, much the same as to piss someone off, eg ""Geez that Reginald shits me"". For emphasis ""to tears"" is often appended: ""How come these buses are never on time? Fair dinkum, they shit me to tears."" This probably warrants a mention. 

  
 == Talk:shit ==this is very very bad language 

 THE TRUTH IS THAT THE QUOTE FROM SPYKIDS IS WRONG BUT I CAN'T EDIT THE DUMB PAGE! 
 PLEASE LET WIKIPEIDA BECOME MORE CREDIBLE! 
 IM AN SHITTTY IDIOT! 
 ENOUGH OF THIS ""WIDELY ACCEPTED"" BULL(shit)  witty eh?, SOME OF THE INTORMATION IS INCORRECT! 

 lol  

  
 ""The inner city youth orchestra has been a remarkably successful initiative in that it has kept young people off the streets after school, and exposed them to culture and disclipline thereby improving their self esteem and future prospects The fact that the orchestra's recent rendition of Tchaikofsky's Manfred Symphony in B minor was pretty much a piece of shit should not in any way detract from this."" 

 ...was I wrong to laugh hysterically for 5 straight minutes after reading this sentence?   

 the phrase 'shit stirrer' is used throughout england, or at least in the north west; not only london and the surround SHIT GLORIOUS SHIT WE JUST CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT  

 I agree that 'shit stirrer' is more of a phrase from the North West of England. If anything, I've only ever heard it used around Manchester and Lancashire - certainly not in the London area. 

 It's used in the North east too, primarily by Geordies. 

 ==The Shitten Shepherd== 
 Rather than the past participle, shitten makes more sense as describing the state of being soiled. Take the original line: 
 For if the priest be foul in whom we trust, no wonder that a common man should rust, and shame it is to see, let priests take stock, a shitten shepherd and a snowy flock. 
 

 == What the asterisk is with the ""censorship""? == 

 What's the point of all the asterisks? 
 If any page in wikipedia has a right to have a complete shit, it's this one...   
 : it was fixed while I was reading the page!   
 ::Yep. The ""censorship"" was a good-faith but illjudged edit by an inexperienced user, I guess. It was quickly reverted. If you see something like that, you can edit it out yourself, though warning about it on the talkpage like you did is good too. Thank you.  |  . 

 == Pink Floyd mentioned in ""Acceptance"" section == 

 How can the reference in their song ""Money"" be mentioned, but not the reference in The Trial from their album, The Wall? ""You little shit! You're in it!"" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by   . 

 :""The Trial"" doesn't get played on the radio. The section isn't about the songs, it's about the acceptability of the word ""shit"" on broadcast television and radio. The songs are just examples.
