Why do some people use such abominations like "shite" or "shoot" instead of just using "shit"? C'mon lads, everyone knows what you want to say, why not just say it?
- osigurdson 2y agoPeople can use whatever word they want.
- anonzzzies 2y agoSome people don't live in the US woooow... In the UK and especially certain parts, shite is the actual word to use. Shite is definitely not the same as gosh or shoot. It's (more) vulgar as shit but our own. I personally also don't like gosh or shoot as we all know what you mean, but this is not that case, look it up.
- dpassens 2y agoShite isn't a euphemism like shoot, it's a synonym of shit.
- bena 2y agoI'd imagine he's British. "Shite" seems to be the spelling favored by the British. Much like arse/ass
- voidUpdate 2y agoWe use both, in different circumstances
- JimDabell 2y ago“Shite” isn’t a minced oath. It’s a different word to “shit” with a different etymology. Same as “feck” is a different word to “fuck”, even if they are used in the same way.
- School-Cotton 2y agoThat’s not true at least according to etymonline. Got a source?
- ChrisRR 2y agoShite is a perfectly normal use in the UK, especially in Scotland. It has a slightly different effect to shit
