An incomprehensibly crazy person.

NB: Not used to describe a spell of psychotic behavior. A shithouse mouse is permanently insane.
Used as a comparative standard, usually vis-a-vis actual insanity.

The term originated as a more mellifluous alternative to the term shithouse rat; e.g., "as crazy as a shithouse rat."
Did you see Shavonne flip out and claw the skin off Joey Bag's arm last night? I'm glad you dumped that psycho, she's crazier than a shithouse mouse!

A lowly rodent who, out of desperation, has learned to live alongside man by occupying one of our less-than-ideal structures, the outhouse.

Eternally mocked by the rest of the animal kingdom for it's choice of habitat, it passes through life barely noticed by man except in this phrase: "Poorer than a shithouse mouse"

Clearly indicating that the individual described does not even possess the meager funds required to reside in an outhouse.
