Definitions
The British and Irish spelling of dog shit — both the literal excrement of a dog and a strong way of saying something is utter garbage, worthless, or contemptibly bad. Dogshite carries the extra weight of disgust that distinguishes it from milder put-downs. In the UK and Ireland, it flows naturally into everyday speech when something is spectacularly awful, whether it's a film, a plan, a football performance, or someone's attitude.
That film was absolute dogshite — I want my two hours back and an apology from the director.

A British and Irish slang term used as both a noun and an exclamation, meaning excrement, rubbish, or something of very low quality. It functions as a softer-sounding regional variant of its more familiar four-letter cousin and is heard across Scotland, Northern England, and the whole of Ireland in everyday speech, in pubs, on TV, and in comedy writing. As an exclamation it expresses annoyance, frustration, or disappointment; as a noun it dismisses an object, performance, or situation as worthless. The word carries casual rather than formal vulgarity, and is so embedded in regional speech that it often appears in news copy and signage without raising eyebrows.

Vulgar but versatile: dog shit works literally (canine excrement, the bane of urban pavements everywhere) and figuratively in two distinct ways. It can mean physical rubbish or worthless junk — clearing out the dog shit from a junk room means chucking the useless stuff. It also means total nonsense, lies, or baseless garbage talk — when someone's story doesn't add up, it's dog shit. The phrase has a satisfying directness; it doesn't hedge or euphemise. Whatever deserves the label, dog shit calls it exactly what it is.
