I thought it was common knowledge, but DH says he is not familiar with the term.
If you don't know, here is google explaining it:
Are you familiar with the term “goat rodeo”? It’s a slang term that refers to a chaotic and unmanageable situation that has gone horribly wrong. In other words, it’s a situation where everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong, and there’s nothing left to do but sit back and watch the disaster unfold.

I’ve never heard it before but I’ll probably start using it now. Seems useful 😂

Not familiar with it. I'd call that a gong show.

I've heard and often use that term. It's a more polite way to say "sh!t show."

Another who has never heard that before, but I LIKE it! I can see this becoming a regular phrase for me! (hopefully not about me!!)

Never heard the term before. The word “rodeo” is not one that is commonly used around here. “Shit show” is probably my equivalent.

Yes, it’s long been part of our family lexicon along with many other colorful phrases that DH learned from his dad. Sometimes also called a goat rope.
And we often enjoy a burger at Rodeo Goat before an Astros game.

I had not heard that before. When I read your title "herding kittens" came to mind. I know now they are not the same, but that is what I would have assumed if I had just heard it. I like it.

Never heard that term - but I like it. Around here that would also be termed a shit show.

Goat Rope or Goat Roper here.
But they do have actual Goat Ropings here, usually during the winter inside someone's arena at their house. For something fun on a cold day. And usually kids can participate more.
Have you heard of Rexall Rancher? Those are the guys and gals who dress the part, but don't own any cows. Drug Store cowboy. LOL

I thought you were talking about the musical group with Yo Yo Ma and Chris Thile. Some great music there.

I did, but that's because I looked it up once upon a time. It was the name of some recording sessions of a motley group of musicians that included Yo-Yo Ma, and at the time, I thought it was such an odd name, I Googled it.

Goat Rope, Goat Rodeo, Goat F*ck are all in my vernacular and express different levels of chaos. I love a colorful phrasing!
