Okay, first, I want to say I am from europe, so this is a question about something I sometimes read into american forums, but have no idea of its meaning: What's all this thing about "Bears shits in the woods". I am just wondering where does it comes from, what does it mean if that's some joke, etc... Okay, I know bears shits in the woods, but... I guess you understand what I am asking.
it means that an answer to a question is obviously "yes." does a bear shit in the woods? of course it does. its just another way of saying "obviously."
Het is ook een goed Nederlands gezegde: 'de beer schijt in de bossen'. To continue in good English: when bears shits in the woods it means that bad weather is coming. This is an old Indian proverb.
It's taken out of context and is used to answer a question that is considered an obvious yes... example: "Is George Bush a moron?" "Does a bear shit in the woods?" edit: ^^it was put more succinctly here^^
