Both used to note something (a project in our case) that's "gone off the rails" as we would say.

Heard a great one the other day from our French sales guy. It was his version of "does a bear shit in the woods?" Cant recall the exact phrase but it was something like "Does a German always bring his sausage?" LOL.
"It went tits up."
