Why is it that when someone says something is "shit", it means it's bad. Yet when they say something "is the shit", it means it's good ??
I thought about this today during a conversation i had with someone who just came back from vacation, and when i asked if she enjoyed it, i thought she said it was shit, and so didn't like it. Yet she corrected me and said "no no, it was the shit", meaning she actually did enjoy it...
