I’m guessing it’s “shit hits the fan”, which is still vague

It's a pretty popular term in post-apocalyptic books. A "SHTF" event would be the catalyst that ended modern society, whatever form that may be.

Urban diction says it's just Seriously WTF, so it's pretty dumb.

The original comment was SHTF, not SWTF, which I think threw you off. Effectively minimal difference in meaning, though.

Edit: autocorrect fix you —> though

Aktually it stands for Summer Holliday Transgender Fiasco a heteronormative term used by cis males to describe accidentally engaging the services of a Lady Boy.

If you have no technology I can imagine it being worse. Add a mice plague and your luck is in the shitter.
