annus horribilis 

From Latin; literally "a horrible year." A year in which practically everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. The opposite of annus mirabilis.

From the death of David Bowie to the election of Donald Trump, 2016 was a perfect example of an annus horribilis

Annus Horribilis 

A Latin phrase meaning 'the Year of Disaster'. This can also be interpreted literally as 'the horrible year' or 'a horrible year'. However, the solemnity surrounding the common use of this phase, in conjunction with the inflection typically given it, implies the definitive nature of the year. That is, Annus Horribilis is the worst year, the year of horror, disaster, and calamity. This distinction is with respect to the speaker's own experience. That is the worst year of one's life imaginable. In general, people die or suffer fates worse than death.

"2020 was bad, but 2021 was my Annus Horribilis. I was so burnt out by my engineering school that I turned to alcohol abuse to battle depression and suicidal thoughts. While planning our wedding, my fiance dumped me and as a result, I lost my perspective job working with her dad. As a result, I dropped out of school, guaranteeing another full year and a half of a school I hate, for a total of six years to get a Bachelor's Degree that I don't even want anymore. On top of this, a philosophical role model of mine died and turned out to be a sexual predator, my Mom spent months in and out of surgery, an Aunt and Uncle are getting divorced, and I have developed social anxiety to the degree that I find it extremely difficult to be around people for any amount of time, to the point of legitimate fear on many occasions. I now have lost all sense of peace, joy, and purpose.

Annus. Horribilis."

Anus Horribilis 

When you have a wicked case of the shits that lasts an entire calendar year.

After her Annus Horribilis — or "terrible year" (1992), which saw Windsor Castle burn and her childrens' lives marred by divorce — Queen Elizabeth II developed a case of Anus Horribilis. It was so bad Prince Phillip had to sleep in his own room. Not even the royal corgis could stand the stink and the constant trips to the loo.

Anus Horriblis 

A play on the term 'annus horriblis.' Translates literally as 'Horrible Anus'. Used to describe the state of your anal passage after a heavy night on the drink.

Apologies for the smell, I was out on the sauce last night and I have an 'anus horriblis.'
