totalt uorganiseret


Definition from Gyldendals røde ordbøger:
"totalt uorganiseret" kommer som oversættelsesresultat i Gyldendals Røde ordbøger, når man slår ordet "shambolic" op. Det er et meget kraftigt udtryk, der også må kunne dække "omnishambolic".

Example sentence(s):
  • Nok er FC Midtjylland stadig uden skadede Lærke Møller og Linnea Torstensson. Og nok havde sygdom plaget dele af truppen op til kampen. Men det hverken forklarer eller bortforklarer holdets <b>totalt uorganiserede</b> og momentvis fornærmende viljesløse forsvarsspil. - Ekstra Bladet  
  • Der er rigtig mange gadekatte og –hunde, der bor i gaderne i Tyrkiet. Jeg føler, at flygtningene lever på samme måde, som dyrene gør. De er så ubegribeligt fattige, siger Justine Grace Swaab og beskriver, at tilstanden i de tyrkiske flygtningelejre er kritiske. – Forholdene her er <b>totalt uorganiserede</b>. Det er det rene vanvid. Hygiejnen er forfærdelig, og flygtningene har ingenting, fortæller hun. - NetAvisen
