"en diez" is a way of avoiding "en dios" more or less "to hell with that shit".
Explanation:
So maybe: I'm up to my ears in shit with that crap (a bit silly but one might say it in frustration); to hell with that shit, etc. I think it is more or less a bilingual reiteration. I'm done it a few times silently to myself - scheiss! shit! mierda!

god damn this shit


Explanation:
me cago....(insert here) has always felt to me closer to a 'dammit' expression. In this case it could also be 'Gosh darn this shit' to go with the sanitized 'endiez' choice.
