Morphology

go + shitnuts

The verb 'go' signals a change of state and mirrors productive patterns like 'go nuts' or 'go crazy', so a learner could infer this means becoming extremely upset or losing control. However, 'shitnuts' is non-standard, vulgar, and not a regular lexical composition listed in dictionaries, so the exact nuance and idiomatic strength are not fully predictable without exposure.

Etymology

Go shitnuts comes from adding the rude word shit to the older phrase go nuts. The image is of someone suddenly 'going nuts' and losing control, and the extra shit makes the idea stronger and more angry, so the phrase means 'to become extremely angry or upset'.
