    Being “up for” something is the same as being “down with” something.

    “You’re shit” and “you ain’t shit” mean the same thing.

    “Giving in” and “giving out” sometimes mean the same thing.

    English is a delightful mess of redundancy and contradictions.

      “You’re the shit” means the opposite of “you’re shit” and “you ain’t shit”
