First popularized to mainstream audiences by "The Matrix" in 1999 by a businessman, played by actor Jeremy Ball, this phrase is a counter-culture version of 'what the fuck' used previously. Abbreviated as 'WTS', the phrase had seen limited use in late 1998, prior to the the box-office release of "The Matrix", in online BBS and chat forums.
Example:
"What the shit, that's my phone!" - Businessman, "The Matrix"
"What the shit -- My phone!" - Businessman, "The Matrix" (1997 Screenplay)
"What the shit, that's my phone!" - Businessman, "The Matrix"
"What the shit -- My phone!" - Businessman, "The Matrix" (1997 Screenplay)

Unlike that other guy said, this did not originate from Beebo. It originated from PG-13 movies that didn't want to say what the fuck, or had already said fuck once and still wanted it to be a PG-13 movie. Basically a pussy version of what the fuck that sounds way shittier than what the hell. If you hear a guy say "what the shit", slap him. Repeat offenders should be shot, stabbed, thrown into a swimming pool full of rabid badgers, whatever you want.
Example:
Dumbass: What the SHIT?
Me: What the FUCK are you talking about? *slaps the dumbass*
Dumbass: What the shit did you do that for?
Me: That's it, asshole. *grabs dumbass by the shirt, throws him into a swimming pool full or rabid badgers*
Dumbass: AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH*continues screaming for several minutes as he is torn apart*

What the SHIT?
Originated from the "Beebo" series on Newgrounds.com. Commonly used by the owner of the cat protagonist Beebo to express surprise, anger, or annoyance. Basically just an alternative to "what the fuck", only funnier.
