For some reason, "shit" reads as a plural noun to me while "jawn" reads singular. I've never really thought about it, hah.

E.g. "can you grab the shit from my truck" vs "can you grab the jawn"

Sort of like sheep? Except what about the context "get out of here, you little shits"?

I would've expected "that jawn" but couldn't for the life of me tell you why.

The words “this”, “that”, “the” imply a position of an object (or noun) relative to the speaker - they are called demonstrative pronouns.

You really need to know the difference if trying to speak Spanish: https://www.spanish.academy/blog/a-simple-guide-to-demonstra...

Hmm. Would you say "shit" is countably or uncountably plural?

Uncountable, e.g. "look at all this shit in my truck". I cannot count all the shit. For countable plural I will use the form "shits", e.g. "these two shits left their bikes on my lawn".

"I don't know shit about fuck."

Pretty much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igh9iO5BxBo

I was thinking the same thing. Seems to function pretty much the same way.

Shit is almost never a synonym for a woman
