1/15 In the same vein as the "hear hear" discussion below, is it
"no shit" or "know shit?"
\_ no shit, sherlock.
\_ I believe this term had the inflection of a sarcastic "no shit?",
in its original form. E.g. Bob: "It's raining" Joe: "No shit?"
As in, "not telling me shit?" "not shitting me?". Over time it's
become acceptable as a declarative "no shit", without the need for
the sarcasm, meaning "duh, I already knew that dumbass" (or sherlock,
which retains the sarcastic edge). |
