How it's used
Literally referring to soiling one's own bottom, this expression is used to describe a situation that has spiraled into a chaotic or disastrous state. It carries a strong sense of helplessness or regret, often implying that the speaker or the person involved has dug themselves into a hole they cannot easily escape. It is highly informal and should be reserved for casual settings among friends or peers.
Examples
We are in big trouble this time, what should we do?
You've made such a huge mess, who is going to clean up after you?

Common mistake
Do not use this in professional or formal settings, as the literal meaning is quite vulgar and crude. It is strictly a metaphorical expression for a mess or a problem, not a literal description of an accident.
