vicious cycle

A bad situation or behavior that is the cause of another situation (or causal chain) which in turn causes the first, bad situation again.

A positive feedback loop in which the result is bad.
A vicious cycle in "The Little Prince":

'I am drinking,' answered the drunkard lugubriously.
'Why are you drinking?' the little prince asked.
'In order to forget,' replied the drunkard.
'To forget what?' enquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.
'To forget that I am ashamed,' the drunkard confessed, hanging his head.
'Ashamed of what?' asked the little prince who wanted to help him.
'Ashamed of drinking!' concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence.

Vicious Mockery

A spell in the 5th edition of DnD, which allows a bard to damage a creature by insulting them.

Essentially, it's a way to kill creatures using deez-nuts jokes.
DM: The dragon is bloodied and seems like it's on its last points of health. Bard, you're up.
Party: Please, don't use Vicious Mockery...
Bard: He fat.
Dragon: dies.

And that's how we stopped playing DnD.
