ass backwards
Totally mixed up
Ass backwards means in the wrong order, reversed from how it should be, or thoroughly botched: You've got the whole thing ass backwards.
The phrase emphasizes wrongness more colorfully than simply saying backward.
Sometimes intensified to ass-backward or bass-ackwards, a playful spoonerism that softens the vulgarity slightly while keeping the meaning.
