[Idiom] Sh*t meaning....

[guliver]

Hello everybody,

What does "this my shit" mean?, for example in Gwen Stefani's song?

Thanks

Well, I read the lyrics of the song.

It's urban street slang.

My guess is:

this is me
this is my opinion
this is how it is
this is what it's all about
this is what I'm all about
this is where I am
this is my story

Urban slang is sometimes bizzare. Here she means "This is my problem"

Take a look here:
Urban Dictionary: this my shit

Not a teacher

Some people can be upset by the appearance of words such as 'shit'.

In a forum about language, it is fine to discuss such words and expressions. However, please try to avoid them in the titles.

If you write something like ''This is my sh*t - Meaning?' as a title, the faint-hearted need not enter.

Thanks.

I have changed the thread title

Sorry about that! You're right!

It's my mistake!

Sorry about that! You're right! It's my mistake

No problem.

When Gwen Stefani says:

"Uh huh, this is my sh*t
All the girls stomp your feet like this"

I thought "this is my sh*t" in this context means:

"It will be the way I want"

Is this correct?

I don't know the song, but your quote suggests she means that she's in charge and it'll be done her way. ;-)

Yeah, Tdol. But, I made a mistake.

everybody, take a look this link...

YouTube - Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl (Clean Version)

This is the song

You know what I don't understand... how come "this my sh*t in this context could be considered a offensive term, since it means = "this my problem" (I don't know) or "this is what I hafta say" (I don't know) or anything else?

Gwen Stefani wrote "Hollaback Girl" in response to a comment Courtney Love made in an interview.....Love scoffed at Gwen's clean-cut, pretty girl image and said that in high school, Gwen would've been the cheerleader and I was the cool girl, hangin' outside smoking..." So Stefani composed a song with a cheerleading stomp-clap type rhythm and added the word "sh*t" throughout the lyrics to indicate that while she may be a cheerleader, she's a cheerleader with attitude.

"This my sh*t" in terms of the song means "this is my territory, my situation, my milieu. If you want to hang out with me, it will be on my terms."
