- a tubular take on imminent armageddon or other similarly framed sea change eventuality
- a preemptive embrace-the-horror view of the apocalypse as an anticipatory coping mechanism
origin: combination of 'foreboding', 'bold' and 'audacious'.
1) His forebodacious act of haruspicy portends a post-civilization era that almost sounds refreshing.
2) The movie 'Zombieland' offers a most forebodacious variation on the zombie genre.
- a loquacious pundit turned talking head that details how inevitable the event was after the event occurs, usually with hindsight bias.

When an entity (can be an organism or a society or a ...) starts exhibiting behavior wholly enabled by excess that simultaneously reduces the level of (what one might call) progressive entropy available to the entity then that entity is doomed to failure.
A behavioral detractor that causes an species to devolve, creating a feedback loop of degradation and thus inevitable extinction.
That the Zeitgeist is defined more by the pending release of a white iPhone than mass starvation in Somalia is an example of extinction level idiocy on a societal level.
The high incumbency rate for members of Congress reflects an alarming level of extinction level idiocy present in the general electorate.

- An arrogantly righteous yet pretentiously sincere statement or phrase.
- A statement or phrase that sounds like something Bono said or would say.
Origin: combination of 'Bono' and 'onomatopoeia'.
1) A Bob Geldof bonomatopoeia is "It's really very simple, Governor. When people are hungry they die".
2) An Simpsons-originated bonomatopoeia (from Bono no less) is "Hold on! He's talking about waste management and that affects the whole damn planet."
