The "Ew, I stepped in shit." Meme Converted into Blissymbols

 

The Structural Breakdown

To explain this in plain English, we have to deconstruct the slang into its absolute core concepts. Here is the exact semantic equation used in the speech bubble:

• Ew! (Interjection of Disgust): We combine the concepts of negative downward feeling with an interjection.

  • Disgusting

• I (First Person Singular):

  • I

• Stepped: We take the noun for foot and apply the past-action grammatical modifier.

  • Foot + Indicator (past action)

• In / Into:

  • Into (downward)

• Shit: Blissymbolics requires us to be literal about biological realities, combining the marker for vulgarity/coarseness with the literal symbol for excrement.

• Coarse Slang + Shit
