EDIT: Also, re 'store high in transport' - I had no idea that was the origin! Learn something new every day!
No worries mate. Yeah, store high in transport came about when they shipped manure in the hull of the old ships. The water would soak into the bags, swell up and burst the hulls. They wanted the bags stored higher during transportation so they stenciled S.H.I.T on each bag. Englanders would see masses of manure bags on the dock with S.H.I.T (store high in transport) written on them thus where the naughty word came from.
