Many phrases for defecating use the word “take”. It makes no sense to me
So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone’s gotta take it.
Sure. But it’s not you.
Wait… is… is it you?
I once told a version of this at a stand up open mic, it did very well.
English is the shit we keep taking
if its BROWN let it mellow.
“I’m going to take a shit.”
“Well don’t take any of mine! I’m saving those for later!”
It’s like having a nice lunch. Take can often just mean do like ‘take a break’
Shit as a verb, not a noun.
That’s the bizarre thing about English. Maybe native English speakers don’t really think about it, but as someone looking at this mess from the outside, I can tell you that it’s really nice when verbs and nouns are distinct.
I don’t give a shit
We don’t have to take any shit from you here.
Take a shit, leave a shit
Does your shit have glitter in it?
Same here. I just abandon it instead of taking, giving or whatever it is that some people do.
^this guy is just holding shit!
Chinese people say pull a poop, and I think that’s beautiful.
Oooo new debate: push vs pull
Reminds me of the ASL sign for it
Take ~= have ~= do
Take a break == have a break, but a break isn’t a tangible thing, so this is shorthand for “do the actions required to constitute a break”
I don’t want to have a shit, either – I’m trying to get rid of the dang thing!
Then this is one verb you should definitely not noun
I see that… but I would argue breaks can be given. Therefore one can take a break.
Break being almost a non continuation of something. There are two beings involved. And as you point out, you can also perform action consume a break.
Taking a poop is slightly different because one is giving an offering. Although one can consume poop too but I guess it’s a different frame.
Tons of people give a shit tho
Correct, but a different context than OP’s framing.
Some leave a shit, some give a shit. Can you give a shit by giving a shit? Hmm. Possible maybe under special circumstances.
Don’t mind me, these are poopy thoughts.
I’m just giving you shit
Thanks Seinfeld
Seinfeld isn’t that funny. This was a Carlin joke.
You’ve never “taken a break” or “taken a time-out” or “taken a nap”?
It’s not like “taking a X” is a foreign construct.
I take a break, a nap and a time out because Inwant those things for myself. I don’t want shit.
Wait… you mean I don’t have to shove my dog’s shit up my ass?!
That is what every dog owner should be forced to do who doesn’t clean up their dog’s shit.
Someone here has never cleaned out a litterbox.
You call that ‘faking a shit’?
Hey im leaving a shit right now!
