(Adjective, sometimes exclamation) When something is going
wrong, though not sufficiently wrong as to render the user of the word/phrase incapable of speaking.
Of multi-lingual origin, formed in the most peculiar possible fashion, using the old
French word merde (Literal transltation =
Shit/bloody hell) and "graphic" (possibly referring to graphic violence, with the letter "
o" in the centre of the word for good measure
NOTE: original spelling uses hyphenation, thus it is advisable to use it when using the word.
Ship is sinking,
person then states, "well, this is merde-o-graphic, the
ship's sinking, there's
no life-boats left and I can't swim."
