Does the term "shite-eating grin" make sense to anyone?

The term is used when someone constantly has a wry smile on their face. If you literally ate shite wouldn't you have a sour or disgusted face? I believe I would.

From the Urban Dictionary:
...these uses are documented in the Oxford English Dictionary no earlier than 1957
There have been similar expressions used quite far back:
In Book XXI of his History of Rome, Livy describes a Carthaginian sect of coprophages, the risus faecivorus, or shite-eating grin, being commonly displayed by its adherents.
Although, its origin is undetermined, they may have been incidents which caused the invention of this phrase. Below is an excerpt:
"1944 Jrnl. Nerv. & Mental Dis. XCIX. 959 Among demented patients in advanced stages of their illness,..it is not rare to see some of them grasp their own feces, chew them and eat them often with great pleasure and satisfaction (coprophagia).

The person is so stupid that they are eating shite without knowing it's shite.

Is it just me? Or do you hate people who say...
"Is it just me?"

My dog looks like she's grinning when she's eating cat turds.
