Geschissen

Geschissen is the past participle of the German verb scheißen, meaning to defecate. In literal usage, it appears in phrases such as Ich habe geschissen (I have defecated).

In everyday language, geschissen also functions as a vulgar adjective meaning “shitty” or “crappy,” describing something of very poor quality or unsatisfactory. Its strong crude sense makes it informal and offensive in formal contexts, and it is generally avoided in polite or professional communication. It is common in casual speech, humor, and media aimed at adults or audiences familiar with explicit language.

Etymology and translations: geschissen derives from scheißen. In English, the literal sense is expressed as “to poop,” while the adjectival sense corresponds to “shitty.” Related German slang terms include scheiße (the blunt noun or epithet for something bad) and beschissen (also vulgar, meaning “shitty” or “awful”). The term is widely understood in German-speaking regions and may appear in literature, music, film, and online discourse, with its use signaling a strong informal register.
