How it's used
Refers to a plan or idea that is not just bad, but actively harmful, stupid, or doomed to fail. It carries a strong sense of frustration or contempt, often used when someone's suggestion causes more trouble than it solves. It is very informal and should be avoided in professional or polite settings.

Common mistake
Do not use this in formal writing or when speaking to superiors, as the inclusion of 屎 makes it vulgar and offensive. It is strictly for casual, heated, or humorous exchanges between peers.
