Sh*t disturber

[probus]

Here in Canada it means someone who frequently causes trouble or enjoys doing so. I think the BrE equivalent is sh*t stirrer, but I wonder whether the Canadian expression is also used in the USA? @Tarheel @Skrej @Amigos4

I've never heard that one before. (I've led a sheltered life. )

It is.

Stirrer is what I would expect in AmE.

Hmm, I'm not sure I've ever heard it used as an agent noun, but I have heard and use 'stir up sh*t'. Extrapolating from that, 'sh*t stirrer' seems more logical than 'sh*t disturber'.
