technical term in the British Civil Service for things having gone wrong. As used by Sir Richard Mottram, formerly of the Department of Trade and Industry, in his classic phrase: ''We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department's fucked. It's been the biggest cock-up ever and we're all completely fucked.'
