Ever wonder how bull shit got to be bull shit?
I mean it could have been cow shit, dog slob, cat piss, but nope, it’s bull shit.
Just like money. The world has all sorts of slangs for it.
Cash, bread, dog, blunt, you understand.
So, tell me, what sayings, or slangs to you wonder how they came to be?
One of these muses, no beer though.
Okay, I bout to push.

Sick. Honestly, saying something is "sick" denoting something positive is absolutely ridiculous to me. And yet here we go. Wicked too for that matter. I'd guess the latter is surfer lingo. When looking I didn't find a consensous. Still dumb to me. Ditto on the term "redonkulous" I can't actually hear that without an immediate eye roll.

Bull shit, horse puckey, and shit-n-piss. Just words that make us feel better.

Wicked and righteous, for something awesome or badass, terms from my growing up days in the 80s. Goes with smoking clove cigarettes, listening to Slayer, and otherwise being teenage punks.

I always wondered about, "kick the bucket"

what that has to do with dying is beyond me.
makes no sense really

Urban Dictionary is your friend.

Actually I believe kick the bucket stems from suicides by hanging. You kick the bucket when you're ready to drop. Could be wrong, but it sounds familiar.

Yep, sure does.

Agree with post two. Never understood sick being used an adjective for something cool. Wicked, I'm used to hearing. but, sick? That's so odd to me.

Well, I never figured out why people said they don't give a "Righteous fuck," about this or that. First, I find nothing righteous in saying that word. Second, if you don't care, why make up something like that term, to make it known you don't care?
Kind of like: "I could care less!" Which means you care a lot, but Society says "I could care less," like they don't care. Just say it bugs you, which is another one, but I can get why an irritation can be compared to fleas, ticks, Mesquitos... Ugh! Now...: "That just bugs me!" It sounds better.
And "That makes sense." Really? We think that's weird, my family. I like when my brother says: "That makes dollars." LOL
Finally: "That's to die for!" Why do you want to die? I don't. I like "That's to live for!" much better!
Blessings In Christ,
Sarah

Guess I'm glad they "don't give a shit"
Be kind of messy.

"I could care less" does not mean you care a lot, it literally says you could care less. That might mean you care just the tiniest, most insignificant bit, therefore you have the ability to care les, although not much less.

Wicked I get, wicked pisser is... something else. Maybe someone had syphilis and it burned mightily when they peed? Ha.

Forereel, maybe it was like this:
Two men are walking through what they think is an empty field.
Up ahead, they spy what they think are cows grazing. They walk along, enjoying the afternoon while avoiding the cowpats on the ground.
All of the sudden, they hear snorting and stamping hooves and a big dust cloud is moving towards them.
The first man says to the other, "That isn't cow shit, it's bull shit! Run!!!!!"
