a total fucking disaster ...the kind that makes you want to shake your head.

A person or situation that can't escape an inevitable bad outcome; hence, a trainwreck.

describes something that is so bad that you don't want to keep watching or following but you just can't look away from it.

A name used to describe a clumsy, dangerous person. This person will damage things and hurt people(on accident or on purpose). They also take things too far. Rumors are also spreading about a trainwreck virus that causes these symptoms.

A disaster that is foreseeable but unavoidable,
disastrous yet inevitable,
distasteful, but morbidly fascinating.
You don't want to stare,
but you just can't look away.

A sudden and disastrous halt in the music 'set' played by a DJ. Often associated with the music styles of House and Techno where a set can last for an hour or longer. This calamity results in the loss of rhythm and ‘flow’ in a club or rave, which in turn presents a certain negative attitude by the attendees toward the DJ. This is best defined as ‘boo’. This condition often throws the DJ into an extreme state of apprehension and a fevered determination to save his cred usually resulting in an increased chance of causing another train wreck. Technical problems associated with equipment do not qualify under this definition. Derived from the visual image of a train, traveling at high speed, smashing into an brick wall.

Trainwreck is a sativa-dominant strain of usually very high-grade marijuana often found among users with medical access, and is especially popular in CA. It has a pronounced, characteristic evergreen odor and is usually manifest as small, very dense buds with ubiquitous trichomes. The Sativa:indica ratio is proposed to be anywhere from 9:1 to 65:35, although the latter figure would seem somewhat remarkable, since Trainwreck produces virtually none of the "couch-lock" effects typical to indica strains. It instead causes a very cerebral, relatively non-impairing high conducive to creative thought, introspection, and verbalization. As of 2010, in the Bay Area, 3.5 g of medical grade Trainwreck ranges in price from roughly 45 to 65$
