Some of us heard our own parents use the phrase to dismiss innocent childhood shenanigans. If people have been using it to dismiss assault since the 80s (which is possible, I'm not doubting that), there were still plenty of people through the 90s and 00s that didn't use it that way.

What I don't understand is, if OP wasn't exposed to that use of the term and/or didn't realize it at the time (perhaps due to being a child), how does that make them a "shit human being"? Is everyone who doesn't know everything a "shit human being"? Because if so, I've got some bad news.
