Shit the kid right out of the other end

English Art/Literary
Jack is complaining about his boss (his boss may not renew the employment contract for him) and his wife being pregnant.
"....You catch that? So now this baby coming and my boss says I'm not doing very well. Says he's waiting to see what happens before he renews the contract. Wait'll my wife hear that one - she will shit the kid right out the other end"

What exactly is "the other end"

Thank you very much for your help

See explanation

This is a very vulgar expression. I suppose it could only be used by a man. It means the mother does not give birth in the normal way but through her rectum. Obviously the man is very upset.

bottom

I'm taking "the other end" to be bottom (or behind, or butt, etc.), especially given the use of the word "sh--"

she will be very upset

The normal term for this state is "she will have kittens." In this case, she is already pregnant, so the speaker came up with an imaginative (and scatological)way to show that she will have conniptions, by giving birth the wrong way around.
