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.
"Don't let them blackout and snowball because they'll invite everyone to afters."
"I was shocking last night. Snowball."
"Our server recognized me from going out. SNOWBALL"
"Every time she goes out she snowballs a little harder"

snowball effect 

(adj.) descriptive of an entity or situation where something once small and relatively insignificant grows exponentially at a swift pace, engulfing everything in its path. A more dramatic progression than the classic domino effect. The basic workings of a literal snowball effect can be illustrated by taking one's average baseball-sized snowball and dropping it down the side of a snowy hill. As it descends it gathers more snow and whatever leaves, sticks, etc. are in its way. The snowball accumulates not only size, but speed.
When Mortal Combat was first released, there were numerous instances of fans going to largely populated areas, like college campuses and shopping malls, and yelling "MORTAL COMBAT!!!" at the top of their lungs. Others withing earshot who understood this cry would do the same. Depending on just how many in the know heard and participated, created an amazing, echoing snowball effect.
