gone pear-shaped

British slang term, used to describe when a situation has gone bad....I've no idea where it originates, but that's how it's used.

Since the new manager took over, things at work have gone all pear-shaped and I'm afraid I may be out of a job soon.

When a guy shaves his pubes and lets it grow out until it reaches 5 o'clock shadow. Shortly after, get a blow job from a chick and before you're about to bust grab the back of her head and rub her face all over your prickly pubes. The result is a rug burned faced with jizz dripping from her nostrils and mouth.

I brought that a bitch prickly pear cactus as a house warming gift.
