Judges 3:21-22
And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. 22 And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out

Is this where the phrase "full of s***" came from?

Translation from Mechon-Mamre:

22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.

"IT", i.e. the sword.

While we're at it, sword is probably a bad translation unless the guy was 11 ft tall. I always pictured it as a dagger without a crossbar

A couple of verses before it says he made a double edges sword 1 cubit long, so ~18 inches.
