Hi all!
There are two things I want to know.
Is the following sentence right or how should it be improved:
"With these excuses he justifies his behaviour."
or perhaps:
"For these excuses he ..."
"Because of these excuses he ..."
2)
Somebody is very angry, trying to open a drawer, but it jams, so he screams in a rage something meaning: "This is a shit drawer!" But native British or Americans don't say this, right?
If you say: "This is a shitty drawer" it would mean a cheap drawer, if I am right.
So, how do you say it? It is supposed to be vulgar and should - if possible - contain the word shit or a direct reference to it.
Thank you very much!
