What is 'dog's dinner'?

Yishu H.

Jan 18, 2023

Today, we're learning the expression 'dog's dinner'. It’s an informal British phrase that is often used to describe something that is very messy and disorganized. 

Let’s look at 3 more examples.

  • I must tidy up my room. It looks like a dog's dinner!
  • I tried to paint the living room but I makde a complete dog's dinner of it. 
  • He made a dog's dinner of his final project and failed the course.

Today, we learned about the expression 'dog's dinner', which means 'a total mess'. Do you like the phrase today? I am Yishu. See you soon and bye for now!
