What does the phrase Helter Skelter mean?

Article Tools

The term long pre-dates the fairground ride and has been used to mean disorderly haste or confusion since at least the 16th century. Thomas Nashe used it that way in his ‘Four letters confuted’, 1592: “Helter skelter, feare no colours, course him, trounce him. ”
