shit just got real

A phrase originally spoken in Will Smith/Martin Lawrence action/buddy-cop movie "Bad Boys 2," but referenced in Simon Pegg/Nick Frost action/buddy-cop movie satire "Hot Fuzz," signifying a sudden crescendo of danger and/or sudden understanding of dangerous circumstances.

Picnicking friends scoffed at cautionary weather reports. Lightning strikes the ground not more than an inch from the blanket. Wide-eyed, they stare at each other: "Wow. Shit just got real."
