A phrase I often use is “Don’t be a shit.” Specifically, it’s a phrase I use within a WhatsApp group with three of my best friends who happen, like me, to be gay men. “Don’t be a shit”, and the expression’s more deadpan cousin: “You shit bag”, make regular appearances in our chats. It’s a faux rebuke but most often used as a kind of high-five for a comment that is inventive in its scorn, sharp in its delivery, or maybe just deliciously daring in pointing out someone’s shortcomings. “Don’t be a shit” translates as: “You’re so hilarious”, or “You’re so nasty, I want to hug you!” Gay culture is steeped in this kind of irreverence. Throwing shade and the ability to “read to filth” are gay cultural exports that permeate the modern world.
