Catastrophe

A group of three or more Karens. Cf. a pod of whales, a gaggle of geese, etc.

My boyfriend and I sat down to eat our lunch but didn’t notice the Catastrophe of Karens at the table next to us until it was too late. They were discussing how the “African girl” behind the counter only gave them one packet of mayonnaise each and deciding who was going to tell the manager.

Catastrophize

To Catastrophize is to make a situation seem worse than what it actually is.

After you buddy spends 15 minutes complaining about how "crappy" his day was you can turn and tell him to stop Catastrophizing and get on with it.

A friend who is melodramatic would catastrophize a lot.

Catastrophize

A malapropism spoken frequently by a stupid bitch who infamously shit out octuplets on the government dole (AKA "Octomom", "Nadya Suleman").

While describing the circumstances surrounding her firing the nannies for whose services she was not paying:

"Honestly, all of that is a joke; all of that is beyond catastrophized."

While describing a 911 phone call where she repeatedly proclaimed that she was going to kill herself:

"It's completely catastrophized. I was running around the backyard of my house and in the house looking for him..."

Catastrophe

Something awfully that cannot be stopped once started. Something that will change history.

One of the greatest catastrophes known to man is the 9/11 mass killing.

catastrophic success

An event or product that attracts so much interest and attention that it exceeds its own sustaining capacity, resulting in the inability of the organization to respond to demand.

The new product was such a hit that the store ran out, resulting in angry crowds destroying the mall. It was a catastrophic success for the company.
