snowball
noun / verb
Verb: The act of repeatedly making increasingly bad decisions while blackout
drunk, causing
one incident to spiral into another until the situation, consequences, and damage to
one’
s reputation become progressively worse and increasingly
well-known.
Noun: A person who consistently engages in this behavior. A snowball is a person who, when blackout
drunk, somehow manages to turn
one bad decision into a series of increasingly catastrophic events, often resulting in their reputation snowballing throughout a social circle.
To snowball: To start off the night making
one questionable decision and somehow end up with a completely unhinged sequence of events that gets progressively worse, with more people finding out about it along the way.
The defining characteristic of snowballing is that it never gets better. It only gets worse, bigger, and more public.
