stpeter commented on the word shat
Supposedly, the past tense of shit, falsely formed on the model of sit and sat. But it's amusing nonetheless.

"Falsely formed"? I think it sounds way better than shitted, don't you?

How about "shot"?
Wait...never mind.

It does make sense that it follows the pattern of sit and sat. My question is why doesn't 'fit' follow the same pattern? I can definitely see the relationship between 'fit' and 'fat'.

I find this word to be a fascinating example of a recently-formed irregular verb.

pterodactyl commented on the word shat
I agree with milos. It is fascinating. I wonder how recently it emerged, and whether it's contemporaneous with "spat" (as the past tense of "spit").

pterodactyl commented on the word shat
The OED defines "shat" as "an obsolete term of endearment used in addressing an Irish person", and gives the example "Come hither shat, are you an Irish mon?"
Maybe it's just me, but I don't really find it all that endearing...

ruzuzu commented on the word shat
I find it endearing only when it's used as a nickname for William Shatner. See The Shat.

FWIW, it's not humorous anymore. At least in the UK, it's standard past tense of shit. Totally normal.

ruzuzu commented on the word shat
Huh. According to Wikipedia, William Shatner was born March 22, 1931, in Montreal.
