Many phrases for defecating use the word “take”. It makes no sense to me
I prefer the phrases “imma go shake a tit”
It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it

One man’s “leave a shit” is another man’s “take a treasure”

Make a shit
IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That part is usually already done by that point.
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I dunno. Maybe it’s not called shit when it’s still inside you? Like a magma/lava situation?
HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 months ago
It’s not meant to mean taking a literal piece of shit. “A shit” in this context means the entire act. Take a break, take a shit, take piss, etc., refer to doing the act.
invertedspear@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Or in other words “shit” is a verb here being used a diminutive of the act which is the noun. Like when you take a run, or take a ride, take a walk, or take a hike.

I once told a version of this at a stand up open mic, it did very well.
benni@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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?
benni@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I’m saying. Like in general.

irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Shit as a verb, not a noun.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
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.

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.
lauha@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I take a break, a nap and a time out because Inwant those things for myself. I don’t want shit.
