fit hits the shan

adj. when things go really bad really quickly and everybody in the vicinity is effected

Derived from a transposition of shit hits the fan. Used in replace of shit hits the fan to try to regain some of the comic style and originality that the phrase used to have by making the listener think for a second. Also makes the phrase okay in front of the kids.

I just hope I get laid off and receive my severance package from this place before the fit hits the shan.

hair band

n., adj., A rock band from the eighties whose members had long hair, which they teased up with hair-spray to make themselves out to be rebels and distinctive. The music tried to be hard and badass, but was harmless. This is sometimes used as a disparaging description, much like boy band is used today.

Some people classify Motley Crue as Metal, well no offense, but they are really just a Hair Band.
