This comment has not seeped in from the Simpsons' fansite. In the Flemish speaking part of Belgium, a confused mess is sometimes referred to as a "hannekensnest", "hanneken" being dialect for the magpie. Apparently, in spring, magpies quickly build shoddy nests high up in the trees. A confused mess is hence referred to a as a "hannekensnest".
It shows that local expressions are rooted in quite similar traditions everywhere in the world.

Thanks for AWAD, I wish it existed in my own language, spoken by only 21 million people!
