Do you have another meaning for this expression... "At six and sevens" ???

...If you are at sixes and sevens you are in a state of total confusion, disorder or disarray. You might say “When it happened, I didn’t know what to say. I was at sixes and sevens for a moment”. It is often used as a metaphor in a sporting context as in “The United defence was at sixes and sevens and it wasn’t long before City scored a third goal”.
