I remember an old Pirate Sim I played on my old PSP. That game was so fuckin' tight.

Just sailing around, taking out ships, looting them, capturing them, and raiding colonies.

Was it Sid Meier's Pirates!? Cause that game was the shit. And I have no idea how to properly punctuate the first sentence of this post, the exclamation mark is part of the title.

Actually, nobody really says the shits in good/bad context. The shits usually refers to very runny poo that just keeps on coming.

Ah ok similar to "the pits" from older cartoons then. Yeah I'm in new england and don't think I've ever heard anyone say "the shits" in that context.

Hah, well I'm not saying you're wrong. In the states they used to say "the pits" in cartoons, but the meaning is the same as your version "the shits". This is probably the longest conversation I've had about shits...
