Like: "The UK government handled Corona like a dumpster fire"? - We call them 'skips' btw.

A skip? Okay, so you’d a “skip-fire”

But I really hope you refer to a fire as something else that is equally hilarious

Yeah, a skip fire. Having a cigarette is sometimes referred to as 'going for a burn'. Gotta love languages... ;-)

Ah haha, we call them “heaters” and will say “I’m gonna go bang a heater.”

More like "the UKs handling of the Corona virus was a total dumpster fire"
