Random Question: Is the phrase "for shits 'n' giggles" or "for shit 'n' giggles" or some other variation?

Nevvererdovit!

I eagerly await the answer, plus a full explanation of its context, derivation and current usage.....

*grin* The phrase is (I think) an American phrase that, pretty much, has the same connotations as "for fun". At least (she adds before someone contradicts her) that's always been the context I've seen the phrase in.

I'd love to know the derivation, though :)

Your right, its usually meant for lets do this for fun, or why the hell not?

:)

Yay! :)

(Thanks!)

For shits n giggles ;)

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

I *THOUGHT* it was that way, but I wanted to double check - tisn't exactly a common phrase on this side of the pond :)

Heh, your welcome. What would an equivalent phrase be over yonder?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

We'd probably use "just for fun" or "for the hell of it"

I've always said and heard "shits and giggles" the "and" can be shortened to 'n' if you so desire.

I've heard it used for a couple different meanings. Mostly "for the entertainment factor", "for the hell of it" or "because I'm so bored that I need something to do and this is as good a thing as any"

Thank you :) The uses you give are pretty much the context I've always seen/heard the phrase in.
