[post_page_title]”Gone haywire”[/post_page_title]
The idiomatic expression “going haywire” commonly refers to chaotic disarray and general mishaps. The origin of this phrase can be traced back to roughly 1905, when the wire used for balling hay was often repurposed for makeshift, sloppy repairs.
The flimsy patch-ups created using haywire and its tendency to become messily entangled around the repairs made it the perfect adjective to describe any disordered mess, or specifically to refer to an explicitly obvious sticky situation.
