The reason Little old lady's are happy to use the word s**t is that it refers to the movement of manure by sea, cant remember the exact explaination but it stands for

Store Higher In Transit . S H I T

due to the cargo exploding if stored lower,

S H I T was written on the crates at the docks to remind the dockers to load manure last.
