At the intersection of shit happening and humorous turn of unwelcome events lies the shizaster. Derived from the Greeko-Roman root 'shit' and Latin 'disaster', shizaster is a term commonly employed as a happy medium between the long-winded 'shit just happened' and an overstated
description of the event as a 'disaster'. Used by
soccer moms, presidents, and entertainers alike, shizaster reflects and describes the nature of the
unfortunate event with toyota-prius-like efficiency and syllable footprint that is both ecofriendly and deserving of admiration and awe from those unfamiliar with the term.
