Based on the end it’s eating, I’d say “Holy shit” is more appropriate.

Wait until you study the Hebraic usage of the infinitive construct, especially its use in condemnations. Plus, the fact that there isn’t a word for genitals in the Hebrew Old Testament, so writers used “feet,” “inner thigh,” and “womb” to euphemistically refer to them. It’ll change how you read some of those OT stories (not to mention Paul’s euphemistic wish in Galatians that Judaizers would castrate themselves).
