This phrase means "do not have romantic relationships with any co-workers." Basically, you don't want to make yourself uncomfortable (by potentially having a romantic relationship get ugly, or "shitting") at the place where you work ("where you eat").

This expression refers to doing anything that would jeopardize something important or essential to you. A common example of shitting where one eats is engaging in a romantic affair with a co-worker, but lying to your roommate or stealing from friends also fits this expression.

An uncomplicated question to get people to talk.

It was first used by Marine in the summer of 2003 when he joined one of the elite guilds on Ragnarok Online. The people in the guild did not talk often, and being as talkative as he was, Marine broke the ice by asking everyone a simple question: What did you eat today?

It is a question that is easy to answer and concerns a topic that everyone can relate to (food); the perfect icebreaker.
In the summer of 2004:

Esperine: What did you eat today?
Alynia: I had pizza! o_o
Persona: Chicken D:
Verdande: Mmm.. noodles ;o
