Tragicrafting 

The uncontrollable urge to make "tribute" merchandise and put it on your Etsy store before the body gets cold.
"After Whitney Houston's death, I rushed to my color printer so that I could begin tragicrafting with some brand new and unique 'Whitney in Our Hearts' mugs."

Tragicrafting 

the act of slapping together some commemorative bullshit and putting it up for sale before the body gets cold. After all, it’s only by making money that the healing can begin.
When Whitney Houston and Davey Jones died, there was a lot of tragicrafting items for sale on Etsy.com.

tragicache

"Tragedy"+"Geocache" = "Tragicache". The activity of geocache, but placement of the cache is designed to emphasize a tragedy. Common participant characteristics include hijacking a conversation and turning it towards the latest tragedy; talking about personal hardships (a.k.a. "TMI"); or dwelling on tragic local news topics.
I am so excited to tragicache the site of that accident that killed three teenagers! I saw it on the news!! Did you know that Victor Gondola also geocaches?

Fashion Gay #2: I know! Cowboy boots with traditional Inuit garb? It's tragically Delicious!

tragically hip 

Being so obsessed with keeping up with the latest retro or counter-culture fads and social pretensions that you lose your ability to think for yourself and suppress any originality you may have ever had. In the process of doing this you completely embarrass yourself but since you're so hip you don't care what lesser mortals think of you.
All those mindless hipsters wearing their lame Urban Outfitters uniforms and shopping for used vinyl records at thrift stores are tragically hip. Actually, they're just tragic.
