When someone "ain't shit"... That's also bad

I would add:
Shit head: a negative term for a person who likely is toxic or caustic for other negative reasons
Shitter: a person who may enjoy shit head humor. One who shit is not necessarily negative like shit head. Could be used to casually downplay a type of humor (lightly positive) or to dismiss a type of behavior (lightly negative)
There's also "enshittification", which has an entire Wikipedia article solely about it. Everyone has heard about it at this point.
