The foreigner in "Osennij Marafon" keeps repeating about remodeling they've done in the apartment some phrases -- something like "маленький раскардаш" -- Does anyone know the second word in the phrase?

I was quite confident until now that the word must be spelt as "разгардаж". It seems, however, that I was wrong and "раскардаш" is the proper spelling.
I know that word since my childhood (and I am a Muscovite) and the meaning is "disorder", "mess", etc.

Gramota.ru has an interesting version of the word etymology (at the very bottom of the page): http://www.gramota.ru/igra/contests/archive/39_33
