Gone to rat shit
this expression originated with the british royal navy from the time of the wooden sailing ships. storage of food aboard these vessels was quite primitive and foodstuffs were subject to attack by the numerous rats living on them. frequently food, or other stores, would be destroyed by rats or so contaminated by them as to be totally unusable, the crew would then say that whatever had been destroyed had ‘gone to rat sh-t’.
the expression became common in the royal dockyards where its use expanded to mean anything that had become broken or unusable whatever the cause. the use of the expression further expanded to mean someone who had changed from being a pleasant person to an unpleasant, grouchy b-st-rd, or someone whose health was beginning to fail.
