kafratsis
A fake part used in jokes about things going wrong. It’s like the punchline of a machine’s misery.
The kafratsis made my coffee maker explode. It also made my mom cry.
My teacher said the test was ruined by a kafratsis. I said, 'So was my life.'
I blamed my failed science project on the kafratsis. My teacher said, 'Good. Now blame it on me too.'
