Mess metaphor (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sty

'mess metaphor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sty that I've seen before include "Pig-pen and infection on the eyelid" , "Porcine pen" , "Pig's enclosure" , "Pigs' pen" , "Sore on eyelid" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal and the L.A. Times Daily.
