The wrong end of the dog.

The wrong end of the dog to have gotten.

To have completely misunderstood something. The meaning is identical to the more common idiomatic phrase 'The wrong end of the stick.'

The origin of this phrase may be an answer from the Australian edition of The Weakest Link which featured in the satirical magazine Private Eye.

Chair (Cornelia Frances) - "When you have misunderstood something you can be said to have gotten the wrong end of the ... ?"

Contestant - "Dog?"
If he thinks that a jump in oil prices means an end to the recession then he has gotten hold of the wrong end of the dog.

HOT DOGS NO BUNS

When you're in a room with two or more dudes for an extended period of time and not a single female is present. This is a "Hot Dogs No Buns" situation.
The senior class was throwing a party at school for Halloween. I said oh that's cool, why not drop by the party later tonight and get jiggy with the senior chicks! I get there and I see a group of guys doing the jerk and every one else was just standing in a corner... Some of them were even doing homework at the snack table. And there wasn't a damn female in sight. The girls that did show up to the party had left earlier because they were the only 2 girls in the spot, with nearly 30 guys including the science teacher. It was totally HOT DOGS NO BUNS.
