The origin of the word SHIT

Sep 03, 2004 23:45

A long time ago, they used to ship dry feces as fertilizer, but sometimes when stored low in the ship, it would get wet and rehydrate and release methane gases which would fill the ship. Then when the crewmen would light up, the gases would ignite and the ship would blow up! So on the shipping bags was written "Ship High In Transit". Hence the humble, but misunderstood beginnings of our beloved curse word, SHIT!!!!!!

Thank you Simon for sharing this wonderful piece of information. I love it! TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!!!
