Used when “shenanigans” is just not adequate. A shitshow denotes general craziness, debauchery, drug and/or alcohol use, drama and sheer insanity all occurring simultaneously. One does not usually realize the shitshow is occurring until the following day.
Ex: Leah: Oh my god. Can you believe what happened last night?
Skyy: Girl, that was fucked up. What a Shit Show!

The most over-used reference to a night of intoxication with friends that ultimatley leads to moments of blackness and dissaray. Girls often refer to there nights as shit shows to help exaggerate the fact they only had two drinks and want an excuse to fuck brad the dickhead down the hall. The easiest way to tell someone is new to partying is by them referreing to a night as a shit show after 2006.
