the shit has hit the fan

1) Wild chaos and drama just started going down.

2) A famous lyric from Warren Zevon's 1978 hit "Lawyers, Guns, And Money", singing it in reference to him getting found while on the run right after he realized he tried to bed a woman he didn't know was a Russian spy until it was too late:
And I'm hiding in Honduras/I'm a desperate man/Send lawyers, guns, and money/The shit has hit the fan

Shit hit the ceiling fan

A way to describe how bad things are or will be and the effects will be widespread. Yes, when shit hits the fan its bad and only get on you, but when it hits the ceiling fan it's getting on everyone and everything.
Did you do your part of the homework?
No, dude! Shit hit the ceiling fan and now everything is mess up!
