Similarly "span" seems to have entered common usage for the PP of spin - I even saw it on the BBC website. I would use spun though span is apparently an archaic word. As indeed is shat. So perhaps old words are making a comeback.
John Ball's poem
"When Adam delved and Eve span...." dates from 1381
I think a big thing that doesn’t seem to have been picked on the door dash stunt by the media is actually the reason why the grandma was actually doing the dash ,which Trump actually said.
When Trump addressed the moment on Thursday, he explained that Simmons is “driving DoorDash to help support her husband's cancer treatments.”
I’m pretty sure putting old people in a position they have to do gig economy for paying cancer treatments is actually pretty bad.
I’m not sure why the spotlight isn’t on this but I suppose that’s business as usual for US healthcare.
I have always used "shat" as the past tense and my usage probably does pre-date Derek and Clive, though not by much.
TBH I always thought it was past tense, and checking the dictionary they treat as such 🙂
Supposedly vulgar as well, I always thought it was less so and less offensive than shit although I always felt describing something as a ‘bit shit’ in a meeting was fine but, “let’s finish the meeting I need a shit” a tad too far.
