Well Krisles I don't ever remember anyone mentioning that word to me in the last twenty years. Perhaps it has not become fashionable here. I do however remember seeing a man cycling home to have a quick lunch and head down he tumbled into the night soil waggon that collected buckets in those days, he went up to his arms fortunately but sadly could not retrieve his cap. Actually swear words cease to be useful when used too generously. Not that I give an um um?

The word does have a whole lot of using.

I like it when people say, "Are you shitting me?" and the response is, "I shit you not." Sounds very Shakespearean.
