A butchered misuse and gross misunderstanding of the phrase 'wreak havoc', perpetuated by uneducated communities in the rural United States. Typically these individuals do not understand the meaning of the word 'wreak', so their simple minds believe 'wreck' is an acceptable substitute due to its thematic similarities to the word 'havoc'.
The correct phrase, 'wreak havoc', means to bring about destruction and chaos.
This is in contrast to the words 'wreck havoc', which would literally mean to destroy destruction.
Example: Through the perpetuation of my ignorance, I shall wreck havoc upon the english language.

Catch wreck does not mean to fight. The two other entries are done by people who do not listen to real hiphop. Catching wreck means to gain respect, acquire props , receive admiration, or obtain recognition for creating dope lyrics. Used in Hiphop.
"I catch wreck like drunk drivers"

To drop a hellacious deuce in a toilet other than your own.
It's halftime, those wings we're awesome, I'm gonna go wreck a toilet...
In Dublin slang it means a night of mayhem. Gaff means house, therefore by the end of the night of drinking/taking drugs/ talking rubbish to people you don't know, the house or flat will have been destroyed. You must say it in a grating working class Dublin accent for full effect. Since Dublin clubs close ridiculously early, people are forced to gather in someone's house or flat (often someone they don't know at all but that's not important) and drink and take drugs until a) everything is gone b) they pass out or sometimes c) wait until the off licences open the next day so they can start wrecking the gaff even more.
It was a great night, we wrecked the gaff.
We went to some bird's house in Tallaght, totally wrecked the gaff.
Come over, we're gonna wreck the gaff!

1. (verb)- the act of destruction upon anything
2. (verb)- describing a state of complete annihilation and own-age
3. As a substitution for the word rally, "I'm going to go in there and wreck shop on those fools" as opposed to "I'm going in to rally them"
4. The phrase "wreck shop" is believed to have been originated in the early 17th century in the Swiss Alps, where an old man who had been working in the same workshop for the past 47 years (rumors are unclear of whether he was a shoemaker or jeweler, another popular story is he made watches but whatever the case he made preformed some tedious actions to make the same product over a long period of time). After his years of faithful servitude he one day lost his mind and threw tools and benches all over the place creating mass destruction to his working environment. Because of his unpredicted actions of havoc the shop was never re-constructed and was believed to be cursed. This led to the use of the combination of the two common words "wreck" and "shop" to describe an event of mass local destruction. The phrase went out of saying in around 1654 but came into rapid reemergence in the late 21st century in Santa Cruz California. Wrecking Shop can be compared to the once popular phrase of “Going Postal” only “going postal” usually involves homicide while “wrecking shop” refers to destruction (although it can be stressed to include human destruction).
1. After the CIA broke into the 36 year old drug dealer's pad and overturned every item insight, breaking into filing cabinets and pictures the left the scene empty handed. Upon returning to his crib the drug dealer quickly called his mentor a Columbian drug lord describing the situation by saying "the po-pos just wrecked shop upon my place" (notice the contradiction between the police and the CIA is intentional to undermine the intelligence of 36 year old drug dealers).
2.After beating the victim senseless and robbing him of all valuables the bandits deciding a state of shop wreckage (note the word order can be switched only in a group of common "wreck shop" phrase users). had occurred and left him in peace.
