Ví dụ
Law Council President Arthur Moses says the proposed (đề nghị, đề xuất) amendments (sửa đổi) are a dog's breakfast. There are 30 days until the U.K. leaves the European Union (EU), on March 29, 2019.

A dog's breakfast: apparently it's a British phrase for something that is just a complete mess. It comes from the 1930s, and they think the idea is basically like you're cooking your breakfast, your omelettes or something, and it's... well, it's so bad it's not fit for human consumption, so you give it to the dog.
