I can't miss this chance so: When someone uses the word debacle to describe a minor problem I get to rebut with my favorite joke (that only works when you are in Alaska and a nerd): Namely "That's not a debacle the Nena Ice Classic is a debacle."

See definition 3: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/debacle

Also: It's not nearly as good with "bets on a debacle", but it a good bit more accurate.

Also: Yes all of my friends hate my sense of humor.
