Question

what is the meaning of the following passage, "Things went side ways"
Thanks fdmaxey, but could we use this sentence to describe a hard situation facing someone!!

Answer

Things went wrong and is probably out of control.
Sideways (one word) means traveling to the side, rather than forward or back.
If you are in a car, it would normally go forward or backwards - even if you make a turn.
But it the car starts moving to either side without turning, then something is very wrong.  The car is on ice or some big spot of oil.

Answer

Going Sideways means something went wrong and not according to the plan. But It is somehow colloquial. Something better would be "Things got sidetracked".
