dumpster fires
Complete chaotic messes
A dumpster fire is a situation that's completely out of control, chaotic, and disastrous—often entertainingly so to outside observers.
The image is of literal burning garbage: smelly, messy, hard to extinguish: The company's product launch was a total dumpster fire.
The term emerged from internet slang in the 2010s and often describes organizational failures, political disasters, or personal catastrophes: My love life is a dumpster fire right now.
