Unrelated to Archer, but I noticed that OED has "shit a brick" (be
frightened or worried). I've always heard that as "shit bricks" and
extending to "stressed" or "angry" and almost always in progressive.
("I told him what happened. He was shitting bricks."; "She went to
Canada without telling her parents. They must be shitting bricks
now.")
