cluster fuck

Complete organizational collapse

A chaotic situation where multiple failures compound each other, often due to poor planning or coordination.

Originally military slang for an operation gone badly wrong, now used broadly for any disastrous mess: The product launch was a complete clusterfuck—shipping delays, website crashes, and the CEO's Twitter meltdown all at once.

Also spelled as two words or hyphenated.
