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.

A catastrophe

Any group or collective of professional drivers, usually van drivers, especially white van drivers

'Oh look, there's a catastrophe happening over there having a right old moan about everything.' Or 'I've just been in the canteen and you wouldn't believe there's a catastrophe all standing around the free sausage rolls'.

Gen X 'Catastrophe'

Coming from (in)famous greentext repost, marks state where (wrongly) it is stated that "Gen X has it too good" and couldn't cope with it. Examples provided, were "1999 and Gen X Disillusionment" - citing Office Space, Matrix, Fight Club and maybe even Taxi Driver. While the reading of the example was more of "wtf, we had it best, no chit-chat, just work and no socialization, do job head out..." (akin to hyped-autism, than "open-offices DEI-disaster") than "I hate my office cubicles and meaningless rat-race job and life"...

Similar to Millennial Chiller, Millennieitis.

Adam: "Do you have bad tumblrism example I can use as meme?"
Beth: "Better! I have Gen X 'Catastrophe' !"
Adam: "How so?"
Beth: "GXC is... when you think how good you had it as "generation" akin to nowadays, in past; only to miss one important remark-"
Adam: "Yeah?"
Beth: "Imagine: you enjoy cubicle work for that you don't have to chit-chat!"
Adam: "Why not WFH then?"
Beth: "I guess they miss human contact..."
Adam: "Oh, so generally, it is missing 'mark', isn't it!?"
Beth: "Got it! UrbDic is tho more verbose on it!"
Adam: "I see! Good catch. Thanks!"
Beth: "Sure!"

Catastrophic Decompression

When the pants have been successfully jettisoned, but the cargo bay door catastrophically fails prior to completing cheek to seat docking.

I had too much Chipotle last night and experienced a catastrophic decompression this morning.

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,
