And it’s other versions: ‘estar de mierda hasta el cuello‘, or, ‘estar en la mierda‘ means to be in deep shit. Just picture someone’s soul swimming in shit. In the circles I move, that means to have too much urgent work to do. I imagine that in darker places might need to be in trouble.
AstraZeneca está de mierda hasta el cuello. Todos el mundo quiere comprar vacunas, y ellos no pueden ni siquiera entregar a tiempo lo que tenían apalabrado. AstraZeneca is in deep chit. Everybody wants to buy vaccines, and they can’t even deliver on time what they have promised.
