Dramacane

When, under favorable conditions (often among groups of highly competitive, charismatic, and self-centered people), a violent hurricane of interpersonal drama forms, sucking all concerned parties into an ever-expanding spiral of senseless rumor, conjecture, happenstance, and confusion. Those sucked in worsen the conditions of the dramacane in their attempts to find blame, or fault, or reason by trying to get to the so-called "heart of the matter". But from the "eye of storm" it becomes clear that there isn't one.

All parties are complicit, and no one person is to blame.
Paul won't be at work Monday; he got pulled into one of his family's dramacanes over the weekend and has yet to make it out alive.

Don't answer that call. The dramacane at work has grown to five or six people, at least. Cut communication if you don't want to be next.

Did you ever watch that show The Real World? It's like a perpetual dramacane.

dramatic irony

Simply put, dramatic irony is when a person makes a harmless remark and someone else who hears it knows something that makes the remark have a different, and usually unpleasant, meaning. For instance, if you are in a restaurant and said out loud, "I can't wait to eat the veal marsala I ordered," and there were people around who knew that the veil marsala was poisoned and that you would die as soon as you took a bite, your situation would be one of dramatic irony.
Uncle Monty: "I promise that if you take time to learn the facts, no harm will come to you here in the Reptile Room."

As you and I listen to Uncle Monty tell the three Baudelaire orphans that no harm will ever come to them in the Reptile Room, we should be experiencing the strange feeling that accompanies the arrival of dramatic irony. This feeling is not unlike the sinking in one's stomach when one is in an elevator that suddenly goes down, or when you are snug in bed and your closet door suddenly creaks open to reveal the person who has been hiding there. For no matter how safe and happy the three children felt, no matter how comforting Uncle Monty's words were, you and I know that soon Uncle Monty will be dead and the Baudelaires will be miserable once again.
