But now I'm confused. The first (opus unus, as I  say) by Mr. Ryle was his 
review of "Sein und Zeit" (The Undrecurrents and tides  of the Seine River, 
-- Royal Geographical Society), a book by Heidegger. How  could he be a shit 
in high heels.

Oddly, I don't use 'shit' as countable.  It's to me, the paradigm case of a 
mass noun.

"There's loads of shit for  you to digest before breakfast", the tutor said 
to the tutee as he handed the  volume of Wollaston.

'A shit' I may use, implicaturally, to refer to the  little drops by my 
cat. Each of them.

Cheers,

JL
