I don't give a shit
post
It's not meant to mean taking a literal piece of shit. "A shit" in this context means the entire act. Take a break, take a shit, take piss, etc., refer to doing the act.
Take ~= have ~= do
Take a break == have a break, but a break isn't a tangible thing, so this is shorthand for "do the actions required to constitute a break"
I don't want to have a shit, either -- I'm trying to get rid of the dang thing!
I see that.. but I would argue breaks can be given. Therefore one can take a break.
Break being almost a non continuation of something. There are two beings involved. And as you point out, you can also perform action consume a break.
Taking a poop is slightly different because one is giving an offering. Although one can consume poop too but I guess it's a different frame.
Tons of people give a shit tho
Correct, but a different context than OP's framing.
Some leave a shit, some give a shit. Can you give a shit by giving a shit? Hmm. Possible maybe under special circumstances.
Don't mind me, these are poopy thoughts.
"I'm going to take a shit."
"Well don't take any of mine! I'm saving those for later!"
Someone here has never cleaned out a litterbox.
You also take a shower
Taking a shower's worth of water out of the water heater.
Someone’s been listening to George Carlin.
I actually haven't heard much of his stuff. Does he do a bit on this?
Chinese people say pull a poop, and I think that's beautiful.
So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone's gotta take it.
Sure. But it's not you.
Wait... is... is it you?
That's irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I'm saying. Like in general.
That’s irrelevant.
Oh... Oh, no. Lol!!
I don't know what kinds of allegations you're trying to insinuate here. This isn't about me anyway.
Give birth to otters
Growing a smelly tail
Etc
I gift a riverboat to the otter people in exchange for splashy kisses on my cheeks.
Make a shit
Thanks Seinfeld
Seinfeld isn't that funny. This was a Carlin joke.
I'm just going to pray this was sarcastic
I wasn't, fuck Jerry Seinfeld. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxyw38tODKg
Beavis, referring to Andy Rooney on Sixty Minutes: “and another thing. Why do they call it taking a dump? I’m not taking it anywhere!”
Found the clip: https://youtu.be/Wf9QkrC04d8
You've never "taken a break" or "taken a time-out" or "taken a nap"?
It's not like "taking a X" is a foreign construct.
Tru. Im gonna go with "commencing shit" from now on
Where'd you leave it this time? Last time the kids didn't find it til Easter.
It's like having a nice lunch. Take can often just mean do like 'take a break'
I run into the stall, push the people off the toilet and jam it into my own ass while it’s still warm.

Someone here has never experienced the joys of a public bathroom
I will not elaborate.
