Wal-Mart Clusterfuck

The condition in which a large number of people with no real direction or purpose suddenly find themselves in conflict with each other, and simultaneously decide - subconsciously - to meet in the middle, which somehow manages to only make things exponentially worse.

Easily prevented by situational awareness, which is generally checked at the door when entering consumer supercenters, convention halls, and other buildings/spaces which see generous amounts of human traffic.

The sort of thing that might happen at a 6-way intersection if the traffic light were broken.

"Everything was cool, until someone started running. Then other people started to panic and they started running, and no one really knew which way they were even supposed to be running; eventually it just turned into one big Wal-Mart Clusterfuck.

I don't think anyone even knows what that first guy was running from."

A place where anything that can go wrong will go wrong and frequently does so, leaving its population feeling useless and aggravated to extremes few knew were possible.

clusterfluff

Something of little substance or consequence, intended primarily to generate controversy and to draw attention rather than to explain, solve, or improve an actual situation or problem. Used especially to refer to the creation of a seemingly difficult and complex problem or controversy where none in fact exists.

His blog post makes a non-issue needlessly complex, and now there are 362 comments. It's just another piece of clusterfluff to attract buzz.

My car was totaled, my husband was arrested, and I can't bail him out. Man, what a clusterfuck!

Mongolian Clusterfuck

An event that is spinning or has already spun out of control with disatrous results.

The Diamondbacks were winning; but then they put in Byung-Hyun Kim, and the game turned into a Mongolian Clusterfuck.

or:

The Vietnam War was a mongolian culsterfuck because the politicians screwed the soldiers.

clusterfuck

Marine slang -- A clusterfuck was any group of Marines big enough to draw enemy fire, or several Marines close enough together to be wounded by the same incoming round. More generically, a clusterfuck was something that was all screwed up. Whenever three or more CAP Marines gathered in the open, talking or working on something, somebody was sure to call out "clusterfuck!" and one or more guys would walk away.

4 Marines were killed in a giant clusterfuck.
