Shit hit the fan

"When the shit hits the fan" is the vulgar and more satisfying term for a situation that suddenly gets messy. It gives you an idea of just how messy a situation by comparing it to being in a small room when a handful of loose feces are launched into the spinning fan blades.

1: When that silly old bitch pranged John's prized Mercedes in the parking lot and then tried to take off, shit really hit the fan. I though he was gonna kill her.

2: Where's our fucking money?! You better have it, or the shit is gonna hit the fan, believe you me!!

3: I lost everything back in 2008 when the shit hit the fan. Just like a lot of people.
