Pile

n. pahyl

1. a col­lec­tion of objects laid on top of each other

2. What hap­pens when some­thing is so utterly ter­ri­ble that it's heaped into a mound of fail­ure, resem­bling noth­ing so much as a col­lec­tion of ani­mal shit, which you've prob­a­bly just stepped in.

Exam­ple: The ker­fuf­fle over this sub­do­main and it's asso­ci­ated impli­ca­tions for the doc­u­ment root that it serves has turned gone hos­tile. This project is offi­cially a pile.

syn­onyms: heap, mound, agglom­er­ate, cumu­la­tion, cumulus
