Hey ghost, any idea where that expression came from?
At a part-time job in college we'd play cards while eating lunch. One of the guys used that expression in expiration with a bad play. I loved it and adopted it but always wondered about a source. BTW, it was decades ago.

...end with "in shit."
That's where I heard it first. No idea otherwise.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
Not Ghost, but most sources say it probably originated in the American South, and is the shortened version of the full statement "I'll be dipped in shit". Possibly the ultimate statement of surprise.
I can remember my dad using it when I was just a sprout, so it goes back at least 60 years and probably much further.
