Dumpster Fire

[KittiesKorner]

Is this the new cool lingo on CCS?

If I am going to use this term, could someone define it for me and use it in a sentence?

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Good ol Waste Management..Connected as they come

Grammar seems pretty straightforward to me. Did you miss the part where I asked you to use it in a sentence?

The 2014 Chicago Bears had all the excitement and hype of a team destined for a Super Bowl run, however by mid-season the team had a QB circling the drain, a defense that was quitting on every game, and a coaching staff that could not even follow their own rules, a true dumpster fire.

Here, in the analogous context that you may be referencing.
After the careless pedestrian flicked their still-lit cigarette butt into the trash, the dumpster-fire spread throughout the alley.

grammatically you are saying their rules are a dumpster fire

*his/her, not their.

My attempt to provide Ole with an example of a dumpster fire was a real dumpster fire.

Well, you have your answer either way. Now the singular they has been a long debate, dating centuries. Hhowever both methods are accepted and I choose the simpler 'their'. Interestingly enough, you understood. :shrug:

Are you trying to start a grammatical dumpster-fire of your own. Muahahahahahaha! Maybe we need a new smiley for dumpster-fires.

the "they" argument applies to "everyone" and "everybody", but not "the pedestrian"

Not everyone, but multiples. At least that is the argument against its usage.

Now we're going to get into the some people=everyone or =/= everyone argument.

lotta fancy talkin in here

a dumpster fire equates to a pile of shit

The Chicago bears team looked like a dumpster fire last season.

 

[KittiesKorner]

I have shit in a dumpster before, but not while it was on fire.

 

[Tater]

Dumpster fire = Grimson cooking up a possum for dinner.

 

[Hbkrusso]

Ive never used the term myself so theres no real chance its cool

 

[clonetrooper264]

The dumpster is on fire, therefore it is a dumpster fire

Clone trying to setup our test environment has become a dumpster fire (because of our DBAs).
