‘To shit oneself’ is when there is, in what is known in politically correct terms as, a ‘bathroom incident’! The reasons and circumstances around these ‘incidents‘ are varied, personal, and in most cases not openly discussed; invariably however the bathroom was not reached in time.
For example:
Bill: “Damn Dave it stinks in here! What happened?”
Dave: “My flatmate went out drinking with his rugby team last night and when we found him this morning he was passed out on the living room floor and he’d shit himself!”
Dave: “He’s tried cleaning it up but it’s soaked into the carpet and the smell is still lingering!”
Bill: “Dave, that is fucking disgusting! If that had been my flatmate I think I would have killed him!”
