scheisse (as an English word)

Also:

• Scheiß
• scheiß
• Scheiss
• Scheisse
• Scheiße
• scheiße

I'm very skeptical that any of these—but especially the ones spelled with ß—are used as English words. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

The ones spelt with ß are rare but appear to be existent. [1] & [2] --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 14:01, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

I've heard it used several times over the years by native English speakers, as a way to avoid saying shit. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:42, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Amusingly, Germans use shit as a euphemism to avoid saying Scheiße. However, spoken usage doesn't verify the spelling and capitalization. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 06:07, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• I've added three or more quotations for each sense of scheisse and Scheisse. I've also added one quotation for each sense of Scheiss, but I can't find any more. As a side note, the redlink scheiss seems to be attestable as an English word from Usenet and Google Books. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 00:17, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

@Mr. Granger, I added a citation page for Scheiss, but I can’t find many results for the interjective sense. This is italicized and this appears to be spam of some sort. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 06:58, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

• Using the first search that Romanophile linked to above, I've added three quotations for the noun senses of Scheiße and scheiße. When I looked at the second search, though, I didn't see three independent unambiguous uses of Scheiß or scheiß. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 20:53, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

• scheisse, Scheisse, Scheiße (noun), scheiße (noun), and Scheiss (noun) RFV passed. Scheiß, Scheiss (interjection), Scheiße (interjection), scheiße (interjection), and scheiß RFV failed. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 14:48, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
