Somebody help me here. There's an idiom that's been on the tip of my tongue all day. It's an expression meaning something is shoddy, or rinkydink, or unprofessional. Specifically a business or scenario, like "a real _______ operation." It's not kangaroo court. My brain keeps thinking it has something to do with circuses or monkeys, but I just. can't. reach it.

None of those are the exact one I was looking for, but they are definitely the right feel.

Are you sure you don't want to call it a three-ring circus?

You know, him and two other arseholes...
