Sort of like sheep? Except what about the context "get out of here, you little shits"?

I would've expected "that jawn" but couldn't for the life of me tell you why.

The words “this”, “that”, “the” imply a position of an object (or noun) relative to the speaker - they are called demonstrative pronouns.

You really need to know the difference if trying to speak Spanish: https://www.spanish.academy/blog/a-simple-guide-to-demonstra...

Hmm. Would you say "shit" is countably or uncountably plural?

Uncountable, e.g. "look at all this shit in my truck". I cannot count all the shit. For countable plural I will use the form "shits", e.g. "these two shits left their bikes on my lawn".
