	I must say that I am also appalled. Everyone knows that
	"shit-for-brains" is an adjective, and so the sentence "You
	have shit-for-brains" is grammatically incorrect. The correct
	way to say it is to leave the hyphens out: "You have shit for
	brains".

What's the difference between "You have shit for brains" and "You don't
have shit for brains" ...? I'm not sure ... *ugh*
