cock-up

The phrase 'cock-up' originally comes from beer making. In short if something went wrong in the process and the batch of beer went bad, then they would drain the barrel by turning the cock (i.e. tap, or Faucet) up.  Therefore the term 'cock-up' refers to a blunder, a mess and / or to things which have not gone the way they were originally planned and / or desired.
