Davis was known for his idiosyncratic profanity, often when confronted with bad news, comically elongating the word "shit" as "sheeeeeeeee-it."[1]

thx for the info.

oh, tho he's in maryland, he's from the south!

that's the difference between a northener & a southerner - the former puts too many syllables in mizippi and not enuf in sheeeee-it :^}
