High praise from a self confessed scatologist.

The word shit entered modern English language derived from the Old English nouns scite and the Middle Low German schite, both meaning "dung," and the Old English noun scitte, meaning "diarrhea." Our most treasured cuss word has been with us a long time, showing up in written works both as a noun and as a verb as far back as the 14th century.

So that&#39;s where we get the term &#39;squitters&#39; I suppose.

And I&#39;m pretty certain Shakey used the term shit (or shite) a few times, so that takes us back to the 15th century.
