dégringolade

[prettygoodword]

dégringolade (also degringolade) - n., a quick breakdown or deterioration.


As of a situation or circumstances. When things go clustercoitus. From French, meaning a tumble, fall, collapse, from dégringoler, the verb form. Further than that, I cannot trace.

I hate to say it, but "clustercoitus" beats "dégringolade" for Word Of The Day in my book. ;)
