    Shieeet: amazed, wow

    Nice shit: good stuff

    No shit: obvious

    Holy shit: surprise

    It’s a swiss army knife of english word. Actually it’s rather similar with mandarin, a single word alone mean something, adding different word front or behind will change its meaning.

    For example, 害(haì) can mean something bad or harmful or causation, 害怕(haì pà) mean scared or fearful, while 厉害(lì haì) mean something awesome or incredible, and 受害者(shòu haì zhě) mean victim
