an analogy for observantly tuning into the needs of someone around you who is very wrapped up in their own shit or maybe others people's shit, so much so that without even knowing it they could really use someone to step in and help them with all that shit. Maybe you're just being a good friend and your friend can be a bit of a space cadet so you regularly steer them away from walking into traffic even when you think they might be paying attention. That counts too. If you didn't step in and "stir their onions" those metaphorical onions might burn. Those onions could even be literal, thus where the term was coined.
"stirring someone's onions", "my onions just got stirred", "stirring my onions",
ex: Hey, thanks for being a good friend and stirring my onions, girl. I just got so caught up with my shit, and other people's shit...it was real nice of you to take my cat to get spayed cuz cats in heat...well, that shit is weird.

Get the stirring someone's onions mug.Possibly akin to the German expression translated "shit with mustard!" It exaggerates the repugnance of shit by evoking the image of eating it. With mustard, or with onions, either expression is amusing and ... well ... distasteful.
