EPTI ask because I'm not a native speaker, and I tend to sound a bit dry because most of the things I say can come off too literal sometimes.

Edit: it is actually, as in not doing domething or leaving something alone, but then again if you where a girl or boy and wanted to fuck a shitty person then you could say that, refering the person as an object... i think 'Fuck that shit' isn't an idiom because its meaning is compositional. 'Fuck' means 'forget about' or, simply 'Boo!' in many linguistic contexts: 'Fuck George Bush', 'Fuck Airplanes', 'Fuck him'. 'That' is being used in its regular role as a demonstrative. 'Shit' is being used, as it often is, to mean 'stuff'. | ||
