Dog's Breakfast : Phrases
Meaning:
A mess or muddle.
Origin:
This is a 20th century phrase. Eric Partridge, in the 1937 edition of his 'Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English' lists it as "a mess: low Glasgow".
This is not to be confused with the the similar phrase - dog's dinner which, although coined around the same time, has a completely different meaning.
