more shit

[victor steinbok]

I tried to list as much as I could find of what I thought was incomplete or
missing in the OED. I also only focused on shit n. and not shit v. Nearly
all the rest of the expressions mentioned since the initial post ARE in the
OED on-line. Variation on "pig in shit" and "pig in mud" are rather
prominent, although there are some oddities (North of England? In what
century?).
