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). |
