Cock Up

Cock up: a British slang term that is far from the lewdness its name suggests. A ‘cock up’ is a mistake, a failure of large or epic proportions.

• The papers sent out to the students were all in the wrong language – it’s a real cock up.[Os papeis enviados aos estudante estavam no idioma errado - isso é um erro de verdade.]
• I cocked up the orders for table number four.[Eu errei a ordem dos pedidos da mesa quatro.]
