Reported in Writing Magazine (August 2012) was a piece from Telegraph columnist Oliver Pritchett who has coined a few words to describe the difficulties of everyday life, including:
Fatastrophe: Your new diet was going really well until you accidentally ate a doughnut.
Chatastrophe: Occurred when you made a horribly inappropriate remark at a party.
Fiascolour: That shade of blue looked great on the colour chart, but its awful now its on the wall of the living room.
Chaostrich: A mother with her head in the sand who carries on sipping coffee, chatting to a friend or texting while her children run amok in Starbucks.
Chavoc: Ugly scenes outside a dodgy nightclub late on Saturday night.
Fizzaster: The predictable result of drinking too many glasses of champagne at your best friend’s wedding reception. This could also lead to a Kisshap when, to your horror, you find yourself smooching with the wrong person.
