Quote:

Also from Urban Dictionary (a highly subjective source I might add):

screw the pooch to fuck things up royally; originally used by U.S. naval aviators to mean "crash one's plane into the water"





Ah, yes. My husband and I being military, screwing the pooch is a common phrase around the house. And back to beginning, I think Hitler may have screwed the pooch/putsch!

Thanks everyone!
