and shit

"and shit" is a strong or offensive slang term meaning used after one or more listed objects, attributes or processes to indicate additional others. Teens often use words like this for shock value or to bond with peers, without fully appreciating who could be hurt by them. The concern is less the word itself and more whether it is aimed at a particular person or group. A short, matter-of-fact conversation about who hears these words and how they land is usually more effective than banning the word outright.

"and shit" is highly informal and vulgar English meaning used after one or more listed objects, attributes or processes to indicate additional others. It is mainly used in North American English. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "used after one or more listed objects" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake for non-native speakers is to use "and shit" thinking it is neutral; in fact it is rude and can offend, so avoid it in writing or in any professional setting.
