square away

When you gets to 4 o'clock and your boss looks around at a pile of rubble he's just made and says "Alright let's have a square away," you diligently sweep it up only for him to make more mess as he looks busy for the last half hour when the punter turns up.

Can also be used as a mild threat muttered under one's breath.
