Is there a Term Between SHTF & TEOTWAWKI? If not help me create it (You'll get credited with me,lol)

As far as I understand SHTF encompasses a temporary period maybe up to a year and TEOTWAWKI us a permanent lasting period. SHTF can cover both a local geographic area or the entire United States or even the world while TEOTWAWKI covers naturally the world. Am I generally correct in my interpretation?

Is there a term however for a SHTF situation that could last decades but will eventually end and things revert back to normal? No, it's not "Life", LOL. If not anyone have ideas for a term/phrase?

 

There is also STEAD (Shizz They Elected Another Democrat) which lasts four to eight years.

 

Don't think so!!! LOL Once it all goes south, it will never revert back to "normal" we get a different reality once SHTF ends! Even at a localized level, what ever happens in that AO will forever change that AO. As an example, Germany was never the same after Hitler destroyed Europe, and Germany went through SHTF for many years after, hell most of the world changed forever!

 

I believe it is called "Monday"

It really is only 24 hours, but can seem to encompass several years...

 

Or in the cases of several "elected" politicos, like Finestien and Sucky Chunky Schumer, all with out accountability

 

Great Depression.
Ethopian drought/famine
Killing Fields in Cambodia
DarFor.


I'd ask them that lived it.

 

Isn't that called an Enlisted Military Career?

Years ago I remember reading a book titled something like, 'Famous Last Words'. Therein the author stated that, among the recorded last words of many accident victims, there is a preponderance of statements equivalent to: 'Oh shit!' 'Merde!', or the British slang 'Sheit!' or 'Bollocks.'

I don't know about you; but, personally, I'd rather be remembered for saying something high sounding, or valiant like (I don't know?) 'Give me liberty, or give me death!' or how about 'My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country!'

My own personal favorite, however, comes from the 1964 movie 'Zulu' : 'Here they come!' 'Thick as grass, and black as thunder!'

 

I always thought Oscar Wilde's last words were the best...“Either this wallpaper goes or I do” LOL!

 

To me, there is the minor "SHTF", when something bad happens personally but affects no one else.
A lesser TEOTWAWKI is any life changing event, like a hurricane, affecting the people involved but no one else. A major political upheaval, like the "Immaculate Deceptions of 2008 and 2012" qualify. Many had their lives disrupted.
Of course, the major SFTF would be similar to the OP's term, relatively short term.
A major TEOTWAWKI event would be the collapse of our economy, such that it never recovers to it's original level.
A limited nuclear war would be such too.

 

I might get banned for this but... One seventh of your life will be spent on Mondays.

You're welcome!

 

But 3/7 of your life is spent on Fri, Sat, or Sun.

...personally I want it ALL!

 

Goodness....sTEAR also works splendidly as well....as the Tweeter-In-Chief is presently demonstrating

 

I wish I was clever enough to think of something, but I think we're going to find out soon whatever it's called.
