catastrophic raid failure 

Catastrophic RAID failure means your ultra-secret data saw the attack helicopters over the horizon and locked itself in the impenetrable underground bunker and detonated landmines and deployed automated weaponry all around the base. Enemy forces were wiped out in their entirety.

The good news is that your data is secure and bravely refused to allow itself to be compromised. Bad news is that I don't think your data is ever coming out of there again.
Hello,

Unfortunately earlier today the host that your VPS resides on had suffered a catastrophic RAID failure and was irrecoverable. We had attempted to restore the data but were unsuccessful. We have since created a new container and emailed you the new login information. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Regards,

Catastrophic vagina 

When the vagina squirts and the woman doesn’t wash her vagina and has crispy blood and a white milky kind of crust.

Angela: okay (pulls them down)

Stephan: fuck that you have a catastrophic vagina

Angela: oh shit I have I’m sorry

Angela got raped that night and never got found or seen ever again

catastrophic litigation potential

A dangerous legal situation where the potential for litigation and the effects thereof could cause permanent widespread damages to all parties.
The catastrophic litigation potential is huge on the new case. There's a chance everyone will be fired and go to prison.

We thought there was catastrophic litigation potential but it was just a false alarm.

Catastrophic coverage 

In health insurance, it refers to a health plan with such a high deductible (the amount that you pay out of pocket before the plan pays anything) that it will only be likely to cover you in the case of a serious health catastrophe such as heart surgery, cancer, or an accident requiring multiple procedures and surgery.
Catastrophic coverage is less expensive than other plans, but you get what you pay for.
