Hurrah's nest

Posted by Rachel on December 19, 2005

I need to know the derivation of hurrah's nest. That means a state of confusion or disorder, etc. It's in the Oxford English Dictionary. But I can't tell how hurrah's nest has anything to do with the rest of the definitions of "hurrah". Any ideas?
