A form of natural disaster restricted to the progressively more scarce environments in which
words are put onto actual
paper, and papers are put into actual physical folders. A folderlanche occurs when many such folders are simultaneously dislodged from the shelf or table where they had been precariously stacked, and begin a catastrophic
slide that overwhelms all in their path.
Note: A folderlanche should not be confused with the similar but significantly more deadly 'binderlanche'.
Simon was chimping with a Russian Sailor when a freshly-flung turd struck a
titanic stack of folders containing all of the former's Barry Manilow
porn. The ensuing folderlanche left Big Ivan disfigured, and Simon
ginger.
