Holy shit is used as an exclamation to emphasize (1) utter bewilderment, (2) excitement, or (3) disgust. When used as an
independent statement it is used to describe a
situation metaphorically as (4) a perfect (holy) shit
storm, meaning that a person would have difficulty imagining a way to design a worse circumstance than what has just occurred.
Example 1: "Holy s***! How did that person manage to propel their car onto the roof of that house?"
Example
2: "Holy s***! I can't believe my
friends is traveling across the country to visit me!"
Example 3: "Holy S***! This is the worst possible
time for my car to break down!"
Example 4: Imagine your car breaking down on a rainy morning before
work causing you to use up your last warning leading to the loss of your
job. This is the same day that you expected to propose or be proposed to by a person that you are deeply in love with only to find out that they want out of the relationship. They were your ride to your location since your car broke down and now you need space and
don't want a ride from them anymore but there is no public transportation available from where you are. So now you are sitting on the curb outside recalling the horrible day outside the establishment where your heart and dreams were crushed. A random
jerk drives by splashing you with the cold
water left in the gutter from the rain earlier that day. *internal
snap* "Holy s***!"
