look at my own arse when I shit

When you are that busy, that you don't even have time to look down when you are having a shit because you are too focused on something, you have to take it into the bathroom with you and use the toilet as a temporary office
Extreme measures involve having to wipe without even checking the state of the tissue before flushing it.

'I had that many emails coming through that I had to reply to, I didn't even have time to look at my own arse when I shit.'

backdoor compliment

A backdoor compliment is a way of giving somebody a compliment, which can be misread as an insult.

Poppy: I'm whiny as hell, no fun at all.
Dave: I think you are. Fun that is, not whiny - maybe a little, in a nice way.
Poppy: Hey!!! Only I'm allowed to call myself whiny

Dave: Yeah but I said 'in a nice way' so it was a compliment
Poppy: Backdoor compliment!
