dog's breakfast：乱七八糟

虽然dog在英语中比“狗”在汉语里尊贵，但也不全是好词，比如dog's breakfast的含义便是“乱七八糟”，如

【例句1】He's made a real dog's breakfast of these accounts. (他把这些账目搞得一团糟。)[牛津高级学者辞典]

【例句2】 The orchestra made a complete dog’s breakfast of the fourth movement. (管弦部把第四章弄得乱七八糟。)[柯林斯高级学者辞典]

上述用法多是英式英语，当然是非正式用法。

dog's dinner与dog's breakfast差不多。

以后见到dog's dinner/breakfast, 不要认为它是“狗粮”，后者的字面是dog food, 但内涵却是lovey-dovey。
