Jumpers in the door 

U.S. Army Airborne slang for the phenomenon in which one has to shit so badly it could blow at any moment.

Having 'Jumpers in the door' is an emergency situation usually characterized by a frantic race to the toilet, and in which if a bathroom facility is not located immediately a huge mess in one's underwear could occur.

The actual phrase is coined after a chalk of U.S. Army paratroopers awaiting the green light during an Airborne operation, so they may exit the aircraft -- particularly the number 1 jumper who is waiting directly in front of the door for the light to change.

The civilian equivalent of this expression are, Turtlehead poking our, or TTF - Turd Touching Fabric
Dude #1, "Hey man, why are you walking like that? Where are you going in such a hurry??"

Dude #2, "Can't talk right now bro, got Jumpers in the door.."

jumper in the door 

When you have to take a dump and it feels like the tip is sticking out, much like when a skydiver stands in the door of a plane preparing to jump.
I had to hustle home after eating at Taco Bell because I had a jumper in the door.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
