This is an English noun, whereupon if the article "The" appears in front of it, it gives it the opposite meaning.

Nope. "The Opposite" would have to mean the opposite of "Opposite," which it doesn't.

Oh, for God's Sake, What's the Answer? indefatigable_1 February 3 2008, 04:23:37 UTC

I thought it was Man. Like a regular guy versus the man ie. the people in charge. But that's my inner Black Panther talking.

The answer is "shit." When you put the word "the" in front of "shit," you get "the shit," which is the opposite of "shit." If something is the shit, then it ain't shit!

Shit = something that's crappy -- "dude, your electric guitar is shit!"
The Shit = something that's awesome -- "dude, your electric guitar is the shit!"
