Noun:
(1) A situation that is deemed as ridiculous, time-consuming, or just a load of bollocks. Similar to farce.
(2) A mess of something. Similar to pig's ear.

Mainly used in the North of England, although it is unknown where the word originated from. Best suited to say it in a Yorkshire accent because it just sounds amazing. People in the South shouldn't even bother trying to say it because it'll sound stupid and posh and you'll ruin the word.
