===The verb ''to shit''===
The [[verb]], ''to shit'', is most commonly used to refer to the literal act of [[defecation]], but it can also mean ''to treat badly'' or ''to humiliate'' (''I got shit on for being late,'' ''He shit all over my project''), or to produce something carelessly (''I was hoping for a project we could all be proud of, but Dave just goes and shits something out at the last minute''). The [[preterite]] and [[past participle]] of ''shit'' are attested as ''shat'', ''shit'', or ''shitted'', depending on dialect and, sometimes, the rhythm of the sentence. In American English ''shit'' as a past participle is always correct, while ''shat'' is generally acceptable and ''shitted'' is uncommon. In the Prologue of the [[Canterbury Tales]], "shitten" is used as the past participle.
