5 Live reporter said it more than once. Never heard that one before. Do 5 Live need to send some staff back to school? Mind you, Talksport aren't much better, although they are occasionally quite funny.

It might catch on.

Say it often enough on a national broadcast
station...

If only we didn't already have threadbare it would
have a chance

Best one was when a presenter told us that Ronaldo had just "crossed the Lexicon" when he fell out with Ten Hag. Laugh Can't remember his name, but he might never live that one down, if he's even aware of it.

I might be a bit of a pedant, but I'm sick of hearing these sub-literate half-wits all over the media. Oh, wait a minute here comes Clinton Morrison. ShockedLaugh

I believe it means Fecked Up Beyond All Recognition.  A modern American idiom, I'm told.

What Des said - but "modern" as in "invented in WW2 by soldiers", so entirely appropriate for that film.
