@maya_b @evacide “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

@mike Then I suggest that you don’t look it up on Wiktionary. Their vote is boring.

@evacide Good Buffy reference. That was always one of my favorite lines.

If it works kind of like “cyclops”, then:

“apocalypese” (a-pocka-lipp-eez)

@evacide Putting on my pedant hat here, but the proper word is "Armageddon." Then again, the original meaning has been mostly lost and almost everyone basically conflates the two words.

A notable exception: Larry Wall (of Perl fame) still uses "Apocalypses" in the original sense...

I live relatively close to the largest Marine base in California.

@evacide
apocalypi?
apocalypses?
Oh, wait, hear me out on this.

An on-going series of apocalypse-level of events - surely that would be "apoc..."
