Omnishambles is a neologism first used in the BBC political
satire The Thick of It. The word is compounded from the Latin prefix omni-, meaning "all", and the word shambles, meaning a situation of total disorder. The word
refers to a situation which is seen as shambolic from all possible perspectives. ( the definition taken from wiki )
