trash fire
Flaming refuse heap
A trash fire is literally a fire burning garbage.
The term now primarily serves as slang for something disastrously bad—a situation, project, or person marked by chaos and failure: That meeting was an absolute trash fire.
Unlike a mere mess, a trash fire suggests active, ongoing catastrophe that's hard to look away from.
Also spelled as one word: trashfire.
