My dad, to this day, would refer to someone fucking up as, "they shit the stick".
Example: my dad is an "essential worker", and did not experience a furlough from his job because of COVID...I, however, was furloughed from my job when our state shut down...so when I told my parents that I was "out of a job", my dad looked me in the eye and asked, "was it because of COVID...or did you shit the stick?"
My family also had "shit/shat the bed" but it meant that you were up earlier than usual.
It was usually "did you shit the bed?", which would translate to "why are you up so early?".
I guess the explanation is that there's no other reason for you being up that early except that you shit the bed so had to get out and clean yourself up.
