Etymology
The word 'shit' has Old English origins, derived from the term 'scite', which means excrement. This term can be traced even further back to the Proto-Germanic word 'skitan', which also means to defecate. The language surrounding this act has evolved over the centuries, with various synonyms and slang terms arising in different cultures and contexts. The verb 'shitting' is a gerund form that emerged in English usage as the language progressed, often viewed as vulgar or informal. In modern contexts, it can denote not only the physical act but also be employed in humorous or exaggerated phrases, reflecting both the universality and the taboo associated with discussing bodily functions.
