Ree-raw is an Irish English term used to describe a state of chaos, disorder, or untidiness — a situation or place that is thoroughly disorganised and messy. It has an expressive, slightly onomatopoeic quality that suits the chaotic thing it describes. The word is typically used in informal, conversational Irish English and carries a mildly exasperated tone. You'd use it for a room that's been turned upside down, or a situation that's descended into confusion and noise.
