Term of the Day: fahcocked, on the valoop

fahcocked (Yiddish) or "on the valoop": something is not square or straight. Or screwed up. Sometimes the designer will want the prop department to hang a picture crooked. "The family portraits on the set were intentionally hung fahcocked." For screwed up, it is something like "The trucking was all fahcocked on the first day of the load in."
