-pocalypse

a suffix that is affixed to any word that describes the cause of a situation of relative discomfort derived from the last 3 syllables of 'armageddon.'

As of late, the suffix "-pocalypse" has been popularized in the media, trying to make a minor event bigger than it is. Interestingly, an actual apocalypse would likely go by another name, or receive the suffix anyway. i.e. 'Armageddonopalypse.'
