Shinola United States	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Jul 14, 2012 "don't know shit from shinola" Its a colloquialism which dates back to the early 1940s in the United States. Shinola is a once-popular, now-defunct shoe polish brand, which had a color and texture not unlike feces; the joke in the idiom being that only a stupid person could confuse the two upon more than a passing glance.
Mabel PhD Fort Scott, KS	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jul 14, 2012 Other than taste and odor, one sure way to tell the difference was to observe which dried first. Shinola dried much faster than feces, hence in conversations "stepping in Shinola" never communicated dire circumstances as effectively as "stepping in shit".
