A four-panel SMBC comic about the linguistic versatility of the word "shit." A dark-haired woman enthusiastically explains to a skeptical man in a suit that the word "shit" can function as a noun, descriptor, verb, exclamation, and pronoun, listing example usages like "a shit situation" and "shout shit about shit." The man reacts with "Who cares?" then "Gulp." She declares that "Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit" is a complete, coherent sentence. The man says he thought she went into linguistics to advance human knowledge; a red-haired man replies flatly, "This is my thesis." In the votey aftercomic, the woman, drawn with a strained intense expression, shouts in a speech bubble: "You shit shit with your shit-shit shit!"
