Globular Clusterfuck

A number of closely interrelated disasters that are connected to one another through their collective gravity.

The expression is the combination of the astronomical term globular cluster for group of stars and a clusterfuck.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will ruin corporate reputations, damage the fishing industry, kill countless fish and birds, pollute beaches and coastal wetlands. In short it is a globular clusterfuck that will take years to recover from.

World War I, the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression and World War 2 are viewed by many historians as a globular clusterfuck that spanned over three decades.

royal pooch clusterfuck

To make a series of mistakes, so heinously incorrect and far reaching in effect such that the result defies description. The phrase is a combination of other phrases meaning mistake, 'screw the pooch', 'royal fuckup' as well as a group sex form of fuck, 'clusterfuck'. The phase can also be used as a verb, 'clusterfucking the royal pooch.'

Not supporting the public transportation vehicle information system standard on busses was a royal pooch clusterfuck for the public transportation authority.

Fibonacci clusterfuck

A series of clusterfucks where each successive clusterfuck is equal in magnitude to the sum of the preceding two clusterfucks.

Therefore, if "CF" were a standard unit of clusterfuck, the history of a Fibonacci clusterfuck project would consist of 0CF, 1CF, 1CF, 2CF, 3CF, 5CF, 8CF, 13CF, ... and so on until the incompetent fucktards running the show have driven off any competent engineers and exhausted all the time and money allocated.

The fucktards on my project are so incompetent that it has turned into a 2 year long Fibonacci Clusterfuck. The project is 2 years old and we are 6 years behind schedule.

Clusterfrump

The act of becoming increasingly frumpy due to the intense frumpiness of those around you. This type of behavior is often observed in rural areas, such as rural New England, where dullness, plainness and a lack of fashion sense give way to an extremely high accepted level of frump.

Wow, I just took a trip back to New Hampshire and it was a total clusterfrump! I couldn't believe how much L.L. Bean catalogue action I saw!
