gone to hell

Fallen apart badly

Gone to hell describes something that has deteriorated badly or fallen into ruin.

A neighborhood, a relationship, or a country can go to hell: The whole project has gone to hell since the new manager took over.

The phrase implies neglect, mismanagement, or inevitable decline.

To tell someone to go to hell is to dismiss them angrily.
