I dunno, English is a funny language isn’t it 😂
Just throwing it out there?
Well it can certainly involve being a piece of shit
I heard Jack O’Neill and Teal’c in my head on this one.
J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I’m going to throw down!
T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O’Neill?
J: What?
T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?
Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism “throwing up” to Teal’c last night after Sam’s bout in the infirmary and I’m guessing he thinks the reverse means
J: No!

Filling in a form is the same thing as filling out a form.
Being “up for” something is the same as being “down with” something.
“You’re shit” and “you ain’t shit” mean the same thing.
“Giving in” and “giving out” sometimes mean the same thing.
English is a delightful mess of redundancy and contradictions.
“You’re the shit” means the opposite of “you’re shit” and “you ain’t shit”
