[(Anonymous)]

OP

Maybe in your region, anon, but it's common usage in mine.

(How does "shot of me" even make sense??)

[(Anonymous)]

DA

"Shut of me" doesn't make a whole heap of sense either, TBH.

[(Anonymous)]

OP

"Shut of X" as if the door is shut behind whatever person/problem/situation you are rid of? That's the context I always heard it in.

[queerwolf]

I've never heard that phrase used in my life.

[(Anonymous)]

do you mean "shut OFF me"? never heard 'shut of me' before.

[(Anonymous)]

OP

No, I meant what I said. There is ONE other anon in this thread who knows what the expression means/uses it too. So I'm vindicated...? Kind of...?

[(Anonymous)]

That's how it's used in my region as well.

[localfreak]

And mine too- I've heard 'shot of me' and 'shut of me' relatively equally.

I feel silly

[(Anonymous)]

Because I always thought it was "shuck of me".

[(Anonymous)]

Don't worry OP. I've heard - and used - "shut of me" before.

[(Anonymous)]

OP

There are two of us! (Plus everyone else in my area of the world.) Maybe now the anons will back down!

...I honestly did not think that this would be the main point of the discussion on this secret...

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, there's three of us - on F!S at least.

Out of curiosity, where are you? I'm American (Washington DC) and it's hardly ever used here, but I've heard the expression from Europeans and Australians.

[grackle]

I'm in Texas (the Southeast near Louisiana) and I've heard it. Not often, but I have. Mostly I've heard people say they've "shut the door" on something.

[(Anonymous)]

It's an interesting and unknown term for some of us, why not discuss it? Fandoms come and go, your secret is rather boring, but I've never heard that phrase or it's variations before. No-one should have to stop their conversation just because it's not your desired discussion.

[(Anonymous)]

I've only ever heard "shot of." Are you American or something?

[(Anonymous)]

I was wondering if the "shot of" anon was American! I'm not....

[(Anonymous)]

I'm American. This isn't an American saying. I've never heard either of the ones people are talking about in this thread. "Glad to be rid of me" is something we'd say in American. Unless this is some sort of new slag, I just haven't come across yet.

[(Anonymous)]

Another American who has never heard either "shot of me" or "shut of me."

[(Anonymous)]

*I'm* the "shot of" anon AND the anon who asked if you were American.

I grew up with a weird mix of Scottish/Canadian/Australian/US in my ears and off my tongue, and I've never heard shut of. Only shot of.

[tweedisgood]

British (also pretty old) and never heard "shut of" in my life.

[(Anonymous)]

Australian, literature major, never heard it

[(Anonymous)]

American, heard it both ways and have always wondered which was right.

I guess I'll never know.
