prettygoodwordthroughother (THROO-uhth-er) - (Scot., Ir.) adv. mingled through one another. adj., disordered, confused, untidy.
In Irish usage, it seems to be restricted to the adjectival sense, and only applied to people. In Scottish usage, where it can also be spelled throughither, the adjective can also be applied to situations. A Gaelic calque seems likely but is unattested.
