“Scheiße bauen” (reg.)
posted 1 month ago
You will hear sentences like the following often in colloquial German - especially among young people:
“Ich hab gestern voll Scheiße gebaut.”
“Als ich jung war, habe ich viel Scheiße gebaut.”
”Scheiße bauen” (lit: to build shit) is a regular verb.
It means “to make mistakes”. Very often it refers to stuff done in the past like “I took drugs / got drunk a lot etc.”, “I was involved in criminal activities”, “I didn’t pay attention at school and received bad grades” etc.
But you can also use it for recent events. “Ich habe Scheiße gebaut. Ich habe deine CD kaputt gemacht. Es tut mir leid.” (I fucked up. I broke your CD. I’m sorry.)
The English equivalent is: “to fuck up” “to mess up” etc.

German slang makes me very very happy. Here’s to hoping I won’t sound too much like a robot in the coming months!
