- a...youth with a gorgeous red necktie all awry.
- has gone completely haywire.
- his wig was, as the British say, skew-whiff.
- rugs lying askew.
- something has gone awry in our plans.
- something is amiss.
- something is wrong with the engine.
- something went badly amiss in the preparations.
- with his necktie twisted awry.
