What 🎪 means

A big striped circus tent. It stands for the circus and carnivals and, very often, chaos.

'This meeting is a circus 🎪' means it is out of control. The saying 'not my circus, not my monkeys', often with 🐒, means a problem is not one's own to fix. It also works literally for shows, festivals and events under a big top.
