  1. arse about

    "Arse about" is a British slang phrase primarily used in two contexts. 1) When referring to a situation or method, it means to approach or handle something in a manner that is backwards, confused, disorganized, or incorrect. It implies a lack of logical order or sense. 2) When used as "arse about face", it suggests that something is completely wrong or opposite way round. The phrase is largely informal and colloquial, and may be considered vulgar or offensive in some settings due to the use of the term "arse", a crude term for buttocks.
