A verb used to emphasize that a large spectacle has happened in the presence of a witness, who then defecated building blocks on the spot.

It is commonly used in the past tense in the following format:
"When (insert), I shat bricks (./!)"
where the (insert) is filled with a noun affecting/completing an action or being affected by a verb and the sentence is ended with either a period or exclamation mark (./!)

It is also utilized as a phrase of exclamation, also in past tense. This clause is preceded by a remark or sentence which could be reformatted into the form above. However, this form is not as prevalent as the abovementioned.
