Look at this place!
This is a common phrase to use when you're looking at a dirty or messy room
Usually people say "Look at ___!" to express their surprise. This can be for something bad, like a messy room. Or it can be for something good. For example, when you see a child who you haven't seen for a long time, and they've grown a lot, you can say:
Look at you! You've gotten so big!
(someone) trashed (something)
To "trash" something means to mess it up. Here are some examples of "trashing" things:
-
If you got in a car accident, you can say:
I trashed my car.
-
When teenagers in movies have a party at someone's house, they usually trash the house by breaking things, dropping trash everywhere, and spilling drinks on the rugs and furniture.
