He/she grips my shit. Is a British idiom which was common in the mid 80's, but not used too much nowadays. Showing my age here. What does it mean? It's when someone gives you the creeps really, but not in a spooky kind of way. Similar to "they make my skin crawl" or "they rub me up the wrong way". Their prescence or even the very idea of them makes one feel decidedly uncomfortable. Number two's are not as smooth and free flowing when they are around, or even the thought of them.
Maybe there's a proper dictionary definition out there somewhere. Any Brits like to add something?

man, i friggin love nicole kidman. she just gets better with age. she was a hot little number in "dead calm" but man, she was hot in "eyes wide shut", and she's still beautiful today. i would gladly become her boy toy/man slave.....
on topic though, i really don't get the olsen twins. i mean, who cares about these muppets anymore? what is their demographic? it's not moms and dads wanting to buy their tweeners the latest crapswag from these walmart whores. who buys anything related to the olsen twins anymore? who fucking cares? they must have invested their lifetime of pimpriches well as their cash cow has surely dried up. except for the tabloid paparazzi who seem to think they are worth talking about. but i don't think i've ever heard a single enlightening thought or sentence come out of either girls mouth.
rich and vapid. and they dress like slobs and call it homeless chic. some real homeless person needs to bitch slap one of them, but of course they'd never get past their former middle linebacker bodyguards.

'fraid to say I've never heard of it.
'That's good shit', 'Shit for brains' and 'Aww Shit!' I can vouch for.

I've never heard it either - and I though I was reasonably familiar with the way you geezers talk, innit? Luverly jubberly.
(BTW Kamakura - why does your avatar have a picture of my cat, Lucky on it? I'd never noticed that before!)
