  Doughnut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A doughnut, or donut, is a deep-fried piece of dough or batter.
At present, "donut" and "doughnut" are both pervasive in American English, but only "doughnut" is listed in Thorndike and Lorge's (1942) "The Teacher's Word Book of 30,000 Words." It is unclear when the "donut" spelling first took hold, but frequently it is attributed to Dunkin' Donuts, which was founded in 1950.
By analogy, donut is a slang term for a circular maneuver made with an automobile or other vehicle from a sharp turn in which the rear of the vehicle swings around to form a larger circle as the front of the vehicle turns in a tight circular motion.

My usage of the term "shit" includes the following things in this case: green streamer paper, donuts (chocolate-covered, powdered, regular), a paperback-Holy Bible covered in jelly, a plunger, toilet paper (lots of toilet paper), empty 20-oz.
