Slang for when a politician or leader ignores all expert advice and incites a group of people to sabotage their own futures with a bunch of lies and false promises to win a vote for their own benefit and disappears when it the shit hits the fan.
Regional Australian slang word for shit.
brief history:

Velma: Well, I think I'll probably start working on Wednesday, but first I have to endure two horrific days of borientation.
