>> dog's breakfast

Native English speaker here, I've never heard this expression before?




It's an idiom meaning an unappealing mixture or a disorderly situation. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dog%27s_breakfast


I think dog’s dinner is way more common in the UK


Not sure about elsewhere, but it’s a common expression in the UK.


A lot of places and definitely historically whatever scraps were left from dinner would be the dog's breakfast bowl tomorrow.


Dogs get whatever is left over.
