haha, It’s not what you say, but how you say it. You’re the doo doo could mean the same thing, but it definitely sounds a bit more on the negative “wtf did you just say?” side… but if you add an exclamation point at the end and say it cheerfully it changes the meaning, no? haha

Thanks for adding some humor to my day =)

A good point, you have made.

haha you think of the funniest things

It comes from drugs. As in ” you got the shit?” It was initially derogatory, but the euphoric high is coveted and sought after, thus it became a complement to say that someone is “the shit”

I never got that either…  but your illustration of “the shit” is spot on and hilarious!

… ‘bring on the corn!’ haaahahah omg.

your comics are da shit!

this strip is the sh*t!!!  🙂

I hypothesize the compliment was originally lengthier, something to the effect of “The Sh!t-stomping Motherf#cking King!”  Later, people shortened to the compliment to simply “The Sh!t.”

Lol. Gotta admire the way your brain works. Your rendition of the talking poop is a bit disturbing though, not nearly as cute as Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo. Lol.

Similarly, when people say “stick it to The Man” and when people say “You da Man!”, they must mean different ‘Men’.

hahaha

you can try to call someone the poop, and see if they take it as a compliment

This post was the shit.

My interpretation of it is that during the vietnam war, US Soldiers would drink Vietnamese coffee that had the beans fermented in civet dung. This coffee was so better than regular coffee because the enzymes in the digestive tract of a civet would break down the proteins and enhance the flavor. Therefore…the coffee was better because it was the shit. Stood by among the soldiers that “the shit” was good and therefore became common lingo to use in other forms of communication.

Of course i’m talking completely out of my ass right now, but i figured this would be a fun way of answering your comic 🙂

so the entire time i was reading this, I kept wonder “what is that green juice they are drinking?” are those mojitos? but there’s stuff at the bottom of the glasses…please fulfill my curiosity.

also as everyone mentioned, this comic was the shit. lol

I guess this mystery will never be solved!

haha this post was the shit of all shits!

You’re the shit of all shits.  ❤
