Past tense of "bulls**t"?

English Language & Usage Asked by user257115 on January 22, 2021

I have heard many things that could be valid ways to express the past tense of the word “bullshit” and other words derived from “shit”.

Some examples:

“I bullshit my homework”

“I bullshitted my homework”

“The dog shat on the rug”

Im just curious as to what the accepted past tense of these words is?

One Answer

bullshitted.

bullshitted is the past tense and past participle of the word bullshit. although you can use bullshat as a past tense but bullshitted just rolls out the tongue better (especially when some bullshitting is involved).

As for the past tense of shit, there is shat or shitted, but the commonly used form is shat. It is, according to Grammarist,

the widely accepted past-tense inflection of shit. It was formed by analogy with the verb sit, which becomes sat in the past tense. It was originally a humorous and slightly sanitized version of the curse word, but it has become the standard form.
