An open-assembly voting strategy in which an item guaranteed to place new tax or other burdens on the town's hardest workers is brought back for a final vote after these riffraff have left to rest up, if not show up, for their next shifts.
Guess what, Tony... that new water works plant passed after we left. We didn't have enough Nays to stop it before we had to leave, and then "opposition attrition" kicked in, leaving the usuals who coulda stayed till noon enough Ayes to ram it through.

Based on the theory proposed by R. M. Nixon, a self-perpetuating comedy of errors; not to be confused with a regular clusterfuck, which ends quietly when the last error can't spawn a chain reaction of new ones.
So after Ed has to change his shirt because his wife spilled coffee on him, he misses his bus, calls a taxi... the driver jumps a curb, blows out a rear tire, doesn't have a spare, and when the police come he fails the balloon test and Ed has to go in with the police and fill out a report? That, my friend, is a Domino Clusterfuck!
