shoot the shit
Language: English
Part of speech: verb
Forms: form: shoots the shit
form: shooting the shit
form: shot the shit
form: shot the shit
Etymology: Shoot the shit is a variation of shoot the breeze. Both of these expressions mean “to chat idly just to pass the time.” A form of shoot the breeze is recorded in a poem written during World War I by a US private, who described his corporals as sociable men who were much better at “breeze-shooting” than fighting or doing actual work. It doesn’t require much skill or effort to hit the wind with a gun, so the expression goes.
Shoot the shit emerges in the 1940s, notably found in a letter by the author Norman Mailer. The shit, here, may be a more intensive and alliterative substitute for breeze, with shit meaning “stuff,” i.e., any old topic. Ever the shit-talker, the character Holden Caulfield used a milder take on the expression, shoot the crap, in J.D. Salinger’s 1951 The Catcher in the Rye.
Senses: examples: text: We didn't do much besides stand around and shoot the shit, but it was fun to see him again.
glosses: To chat casually; to gossip.
Synonyms: shoot the breeze
