The phrase is an exclamation marking the event that the user needs to take a massive dump, often one that is minutes or even less to where shit hits the fan, quite aptly.

It's origin stems from the "T minus ____ seconds/minutes/hours etc.." announced for important events, such as New Year's ball dropping, bombs going off, or in this case a shit-storm.

When T Minus is yelled, followed by a time for more accuracy, it is imperative to get him/her to the nearest restroom or else all hell will break loose, or just their bowels perhaps.
John: "Shiiiiiit, T Minus! That Chipotle definitely ain't sittin' well."
Frank: "DRIVE FASTER MATT! We can make it to that 7-11's bathroom in time!"
Matt: "Man, they're gonna need a new toilet soon."
John: "I... can't breathe.. Frank.. if I don't make it, tell my family how I died.."
Matt: "You're gonna be OK! Stay with us!"

T minus zero 

"T minus zero" means "out of time."

This comes from a countdown convention used in by both the American military and NASA.

Generally, it is used when counting down to a major event that will happen at a specific time.

Mathematically, T is time, minus whatever amount of time is left until the event happens.

If the News Years ball is dropping in 10 minutes, one could say "The ball is dropping in T minus 10 minutes and counting!"

Therefore, "T minus zero" means that there is no time left.
I was working on my term paper all night for my morning class, and all the sudden I looked up at the clock and realized I was t minus zero.
