Shit is a vernacular word in Modern English denoting the solid byproduct of digestion. It is an old and native English word, but following the Norman Conquest, French and Latin terms for many common objects and bodily functions began to be seen as more distinguished than natively-derived words, and thenceforth, feces became the accepted English noun, to defecate became the accepted English verb, and shit was no longer used in polite company.
