About
“Shitstorm”, a portmanteau of the words “shit” and “storm,” is an Internet slang term referring to a type of public outrage . . .
Origin
The exact origin of the term is unclear. On November 7th, 2002, Urban Dictionary[1] user D’emon submitted an entry for “shit storm,” describing it as an unpleasant consequence of failure.
 
How it Spread
On November 24th, 2004 “shitstorm” was added to the online dictionary Wiktionary, where it was defined as a type of public backlash. In September 2009, “shitstorm” was added to the Macmillan Dictionary[8] defined as “a situation in which people are very angry or there are a lot of problems.” On July 28th, 2010, The Onion[9] published a satirical article that professional basketball players Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade would be nicknamed “The Three-Headed Shitstorm."
In February 2012, the German website Anglizismus des Jahres[2] (“Anglicisms of the Year” in English), listed “shitstorm” as 2011’s top English contribution to the German language for filling “a gap in the German vocabulary” pertaining to public outcry on the Internet.
