What does FIASCO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A total and often embarrassing failure, especially of something carefully planned.
Fiasco is Italian for a bottle or flask, and the figurative sense is said to come from theatre slang for a performance that went badly, though the exact reason is unclear. In English it suggests a public and somewhat comic collapse rather than a quiet disappointment. A badly organised event, a ruined dinner or a failed product launch can all be called a fiasco.
