Brewer's: Hash

(A). A mess, a muddle; as, “a pretty hash he made of it.” A hash is a mess, and a mess is a muddle.

I'll soon settle his hash for him.
I will soon smash him up; ruin his schemes; “give him his gruel”; `“cook his goose”; “put my finger in his pie”; “make mince-meat of him.” (See Cooking.)
