Could "Treppe Schisse" mean something about the stairs or about tripping
(perhaps runing/ "tripping along" Schisse could mean defecation could it not?
or perhaps something like skidding. What was the context that this would be
used, do you know? Greetings David Strommen

Leewe Läajchlenda- 'treppr schisse' kunn meene 'trappe scheete' 'shoot
the rapids' but in this case 'shoot the stairs'
no guarantee that this is correct, only my interpretation
