"fēmasco" - a variant of the well known noun - fiasco - a situation that is a complete failure, especially in a ludicrous or humiliating way that spirals uncontrollably toward higher and higher levels of entropy. In order to be a fēmasco, the fiasco must involve at least one man and two or more women. The triangle scenario is most prevalent. Very often the predicament is quite ironic and unpredictable, evading all attempts at amelioration, logic and good sense, even when the parties involved are usually well intentioned and rational. Often fueled by inexperience, poor judgement, self-interest, various passions, and emotions such as jealousy, greed, anxiety, vindictiveness, etc., the word is part of a new popular effort to make the English language gender based. This word is a noun of feminine gender, accentuated (obviously) by the accent mark over the letter e, which also emphasizes the requisite involvement of at least two females who may be either allied by shared interest to exacerbate the fēmasco and intentionally make the man suffer, or more likely opposing female parties, with interests at odds, possessing exclusive goals, together achieving some sort of critical mass that initiates a chain reaction that cannot be controlled no matter the efforts of the male party - resulting in some type of explosion.
Although his intentions were sincere and desirous of establishing a harmonious mutual friendship with the two women, his inexperienced efforts quickly deteriorated into a rapidly expanding fēmasco that took on a life of its own and threatened to melt the very atmosphere.
