I've grown fond of saying sh*t when communicating about things  
that p*ss me off.

What triggered that for me a character in the tv series Ozark.  
She uses the word in instances where she wants to appear serious  
about something that seems wrong.  "Oh, don't give me that  
sh*t". "Are you still smoking that sh*t?", etc.

I like it.  It's good sh*t.

When I am amongst collegues, friends, or people with whom I can  
be open about my thoughts, I'll throw in the odd sh*t word.

I've never spoken like that before. It's a 2020-2021 thing.
