(meta)gallifmaufry time, bitches!

from John Lyly, Preface to Midas (1589)

Time hath confounded our mindes, our minds the matter; but all commeth to this passe, that what heretofore hath been served in several dishes for a feaste, is now minced in a charger for a Gallimaufrey. If wee present a mingle-mangle, our fault is to be excused, because the whole world is become an Hodge-podge.
