A shit code is a code that doesn't look like an opponent's code. Understanding someone else's code is a long and tedious job. And if the code is written as if you wrote it, then you understand it and this saves time for revision and debugging.
Any novice programmer first of all rushes to rewrite other people's programs. Even if they are absolutely functional, even if after rewriting part of the functionality disappears and bugs appear.
This is said with a grain of salt, of course.
Shit code is the application of not the best (from the point of view of the majority) solutions to a problem. Well, for example, the exit from the loop will be called shitcode by setting the counter to the maximum value.

for(i=0; i<1000; i++)
  i=INT_MAX;

This is a fully functional solution, not slow, not cumbersome. But it is better to use break for these purposes. Because everyone is used to it. Also, the code is repeating the functionality of the standard library, for example, string or auto_ptr. As well as the structure (architecture) of the program, which is different from the opponent's favorite. For example, not using MVC when developing a program.
For example, I use the construction:

void main() {
  // ...
  void init_dialog();           init_dialog();
  void init_referenceControl(); init_referenceControl();
  void init_functionsHelp();    init_functionsHelp();
  void init_new_style();        init_new_style();
  // ...
}

Вместо определения функций в .H файлах, я это сделал прямо на месте. Говнокод. Можно было бы создать кучу .H файлов, использовать одну из множества библиотек выполняющих инициализацию. Но это максимально простой способ, способ без использования доп классов, функций и программ; так легче отлаживать, так наглядно изображена последовательность инициализации, так не надо писать кучу #include, и кроме функции MAIN, функции инициализации ни от куда не вызвать.

Говнокод - потому что люди бы не так написали.
