The Shit
The Shit (Expression) Means "The best." Originated as a term to describe high quality drug substances, i.e. "this is good shit." The meaning has evolved to refer to any item of high quality. However, in
typical usage, the article "the" is required to denote superiority.
Without the word "the" prefacing the word "shit," a different, usually
negative, meaning applies.Now that I've completely bored you with a post about Vanna White, what better way to follow it up than to bore you with news that has absolutely nothing to do with a celebrity mishap, fashion faux pas, pregnancy, marriage, or birth.
It's so much better.
Ben Folds revealed to Paste Magazine this week that the name of his new album will be Way to Normal and it will be released on September 16th.
That is The Shit.
The album, which includes a duet with Regina Spektor, will feature typical Ben Folds fare, of the hard piano rock variety. There's also a song called "Bitch Went Nuts."
The cheeky irreverence that’s become Folds’ trademark is still on full display in tunes like “Bitch Went Nuts,” which tells the fictional story of a relationship that went south after the narrator’s lover goes psycho and stabs his basketball. According to Folds, the song is a comment on the male perspective. “If you ask loads of women what went wrong in a relationship, they’re going to give you a variety of answers. But you ask men, especially at a bar somewhere, and they’re gonna go, ‘Uh, bitch went nuts!’”Folds is currently on tour in the United Kingdom.
And stick around, folks. I'm on a roll today: At noon, we can debate: Are Crocs the new Jelly Sandals?
SQUEEEEEEEE!!!! This news just made my day!
Ha! It's true. Guys always describe their exes as crazy, insane or nuts.
Why did you date her if she's crazy? Did you know she was crazy from the start? Oh, I get it. She's crazy because of YOU. You did that to her, you crazy-girl-making lothario you. Get over your damn self.
Oh, and can't wait for the new Folds. Squee indeed.

Your move, Stacey.
Meh. I grow tired of this game.
At any rate, I just want to say that if I ever put a knife through a man's basketball, he totally had it coming. Same goes for throwing the remote control out the window into the snow or breaking the DVD player by kicking it. Although that last one may have been due to a non-boyfriend related tempter tantrum.
I have to beat them off with a stick, I tell you!
Great news, specially since september 16th is a day after my birthday
