Isn't the past tense of "shit" "shat", not "shitted"?

You are very precise in your grammar, sir. I like that.

Yes, and the fact that it's irregular almost certainly flags it as a very old word in the language. I don't have my Oxford English Dictionary to hand, but I suspect it goes back in some form or another to the Germanic and Icelandic languages that were at the root of Anglo-Saxon till the Normans arrived and Harold got something in his eye.
“Fuck” is an old word. Nothing to do with Romance languages (i.e. French, Italian) or Latin. So is “****” by the way. It comes up in Chaucer, when the Wife of Bath promises her husband (one of the many) “don't worry, you shall have **** aplenty at eventide”.

Now — come on Forest! Stuff those “fucking cunts”. You can do it. We “shat” on them earlier in the season.
 
Prediction for number of fouls by casemiro before a yellow card. I'll go with (looks for infinity sign on keyboard)...
 
Pointless game unless Forest score two early goals. More chance of Cancelo playing for us against Spurs on Sunday.
 
Great to hear the commentator say Old Trafford may be well past its best. Everyone knows it’s falling to bits.
