Shit

Shit means 'ship high in transit' and came about because they used to ship manure from the 'new world' back to england and if they put it down low in the cargo holds it would get wet and then produce a ton of heat and start fires on the ships when they were out to sea and the ship would burn and everyone would die. but if they put it up high, it wouldn't get wet and hence no fire. it's the same principle as when farmers store bales of hay and they get damp and the barn burns down because of it

This is very a good piece of information, especially if you come from a family like mine. You can sound very intellectual at your holiday dinner when the conversation goes south, yet still appeal to the general masses.
