I’ve actually thought about that and I think it comes from the word “buggy” or “bugs” which in popular slang used to mean crazy. Think Bugs Bunny or Bugs Malone. The bats we have in North America exclusively eat insects so their droppings or guano is nothing but digested super condensed liquified bugs. There is nothing as buggy as batshit. Hence: “Batshit Crazy”.
To be fair I totally made this up and if it isn’t true it should be.
Bats sleep in caves hanging upside down. The Poop covers the cave floor, but none of it is ever found running down the back of the bat. Now. ain’t that crazy?
Thanks.
Now yet another thing to endlessly go through my mind when I’m trying to sleep. It was bad enough when I was trying to figure out if I feel wet when I’m showering.
Maybe the same person that decided that bull shit was the least truthful or that chicken shit was the least brave or that whale shit was the lowest… Okay, I get that one. Nevermind.
Someone that didn’t like bats, of course.
