249/365 Crossed Wires
The saying probably comes from a telephone switchboard analogy. When telephone operators had to manually connect two parties with wires. If they put the wires into the wrong plugs, people would think they were talking one person but actually be talking to another. This would cause misunderstandings, as they would be talking about different things. Hence, their wires were crossed.
