Question: when it comes to that I don't know crap?


Answers: when it comes to that I don't know crap?

Shinola was immortalized in colloquial English by the phrase You don't (or He doesn't) know sh*t from Shinola which first became widely popular during World War II. Aside from being an amusing bit of alliteration, the phrase implies that the subject is stupid or woefully ignorant. Sh*t and Shinola, while superficially similar in appearance, are entirely distinct in their function; only one is good for polishing shoes, and anyone who fails to distinguish one from the other must be ignorant or of low acuity. Similar expressions include, doesn't know his a$$ from his elbow or Sir Henry Wood's doesn't know his brass from his woodwind.

probably in Home ec

no, not in my school.

I have been looking for some of that, not real hard, but in THE JERK unabridged his "daddy" tells him that as they are walking by the side of the house as Navin is getting ready to leave..........I looked it up on Google but don't remember what I found.......good question

I don't think so because I have seen many who came out of the school system who didn't know the difference between s**t and Shinola.

not in mine school

This problem was acerbated by Daniel Webster when he published his dictionary and spelled "Polish" and "polish" the same way..............because he didn't know the difference between "Sh*t and Shinola".
