I feel awful What’s that you say Rex? Your hair, the hair of the dog What a disgusting idea In English some people say if you feel bad after drinking too much the night before you should have the hair of the dog it means a little bit of alcohol to make you feel better The hair of the dog I don't think this is going to work Never again Look at this beast He’s made a dog’s dinner of that. It means He’s made a mess of something To make a dog's dinner or something I've made a dog's dinner of that, let me just do it again to make a dog’s dinner of something to make a dog's dinner of something I've made a dog's dinner of that let me just do it again
