    Sitting here at my desk I just overheard a work mate say "That thing shat me for ages". It remined me of a conversation I had with my girl friend a couple of days ago. She was telling me that the word 'shat' is a very Australian thing and not used a lot overseas. So what would you say.... "it shat me", "we shat all over them", "I just shat in cubicle 1", "the bloddy dog shat on the couch again" or "It gave me the shits", "we beat the shit out of them", "I just had/took a shit in cubicle 1", "the dog just shitted on the couch" I have taken a vow of poverty. If you want to really piss me off, send me money.

          'shat' is rare here. 'shitted' is only slightly more common - most people use shit for both present and past-tense.

            I've never heard anybody say either one. "If anything, the West is awash in an epidemic of self-hate crimes." "a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself"

                      Shat is used in britain, but perhaps not as often as you suggest. We would use crapped instead of shat; 'the cat just crapped on the floor again'. Shitted isnt used much, I cant think of any examples. Nunc est bibendum

                            That's my nom de guerre ;) Mirza Ghalib [1797 - 1869] was an Urdu poet. He was born in Agra.

                              Yeah, I didn't know though and thought that for some reason you had an impressive real name - the sort you'd expect in history books.

                              Oh ok - I think that's what she told me. I mixed that up with Arabic poetry - my fault again :-) Regards, Nish
