* '''Shut!''' the door remains shut * '''Shit!''' → cf. [[Cumbrum|Cambronne's]] ''Merde!'', allegedly uttered at the Battle of Waterloo; the story of the Prankquean and Jarl van Hoother has much in common with the [[Museyroom]] episode ([[Page_8|FW 008.09 ff.]]), which recounts the Battle of Waterloo * '''Schutt:''' (''German'') a batch of malt * '''shut:''' (''Egyptian'') shadow → according to the Egyptian conception of the soul, a person's shadow, or ''shut'' ('šwt'), was always present. It was believed that a person could not exist without a shadow, nor a shadow without a person, therefore, Egyptians surmised that a shadow contained something of the person it represents. For this reason statues of people and deities were sometimes referred to as their shadows. The shadow was represented graphically as a small human figure painted completely black as well, as a figure of death, or servant of Anubis. [[Category:German phrases]]
