Usually an event like a party or gathering of sorts were an audience can quickly form to witness a mess unfold before them. This requires at least 1 individual but usually involves several idiots and attention whores who are quickly consumed by a chaotic and unpredictable side show for all to enjoy. can also be categorized by the one person in a group that usually gets the most shit faced.

the state of drunkenness in which the drinker is euphoric, constantly dancing, vibing, or vogueing, professing their love for people they shared a night class with last semester, and completely oblivious to the awkward situations they create. usually accompanied by a strange "dance move" involving one hand over the face and the other high in the air; the hand holding the drink being the one up high, as it spills on those surrounding the drinker. the drinker may or may not remember his or her actions.
Caitlin: Did you see Eric last night?
Marlee: Oh, my God. Yes. He was a total shitshow.
Caitlin: Yeah, especially when he grabbed my hand and some girl I've never seen and begged for us to be best friends...
Marlee: Like I said, what a shitshow.
