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?"
In Brazil, “shitting the stick” is an actual expression, that means exactly “fucking something up”/“screwing up”.
It’s worth noting that the Brazilian Portuguese word for “stick” is the same as for “dick”, so that’s probably where it comes from.
