"Shit eating grin" is the short form of "he had a grin like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That doesn't make it much clearer to me.

Yeah, that still doesn't evoke the puckish delighted smile that the expression usually evokes for me.

I'm not sure I ever expected to see him and Aldis Hodge sharing a screen.

A reference randomly rounded up on the internet:
I think the phrase “shit eating grin” is a shorthand version of “Grinning like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush”. I am sure you can picture a fox trying to bite shit out of a wire brush with his lips pulled back so they don’t get poked.

That is awesome!
Going back to the earlier discussion, this season is missing something for me as well. It's just not as much fun as it was last year.

I found it a slow start, but I'm back on board wholeheartedly as of episode 4. I'm surprised that the Parker/Hardison shipper in me isn't more disappointed with the "take it slowly" thing, but recently I've really enjoyed the OT3's character moments, so it's not that bad.

I can't picture a fox wanting to eat shit, so it falls apart for me there.

Well, dogs sure love cat shit, foxes might have similar taste.
I don't know if there is any part of Saving Grace that I get anymore. If it's ending, I guess I'll see it out, but I'm not expecting a satisfying experience.

Okay, I can see a fox eating poop, but why is the poop in the wire brush? This just gets more and more curious.
