I also enjoy "effing" as well as "shite," which really annoys the GF for some reason (the "shite," not the "effing").

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does shite bother her more than shit?

My sister uses shite and it bugs the crap out of me. I think because it sounds affected, even though I know she just picked it up from her Aussie roommate.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've never liked "shite" either. It just grates on me.

Yes. Interesting that it bugs others as well.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
There is a new W&G film coming out this fall, I think.
Curse of the Were-Rabbit DH interviewed Nick Park about it a while back.

It can be cheesy, I guess. I swear like all the places I've lived, so "shite" pales in comparison to "tabernac" in terms of incongruity with my accent.
I don't care either way.

YES! That's it. I was trying to remember what it was called.
Man, my brain is filled with bubbles today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
DH says shite, but just because that's what he learned first, I think. It sounds odd, because he doesn't have a South African accent at all.
Eta: on further reflection, he uses both "shit" and "shite" with slightly different meanings. He'll describe something that's nonsense as "utter shite" but if he hits his thumb with a hammer, he'll say "Aynar! Shit!"

I can't remember where I picked up "shite" -- probably Trainspotting. I'm sure it sounds affected, but since I really am using it completely unconsciously, I can't help it.
