n. Short for No Joy in Mudville, this is an absurdly understated way to say catastrophe. Favored by aviators, the term derives from the baseball poem Casey at the Bat, where in the ninth inning with two outs and two men on base, Casey is poised to hit a home run and win the game.
After acting like an entitled diva and refusing to swing at two good pitches, Casey takes a tremendous swing at the final pitch and (spoiler) strikes out.

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.
