The highest attainable level of detachment from mental stability, and social awareness, usually marked by intense fits of rage, and irrational behaviours
Everybody better leave before I have a phase 5 meltdown
The public mental meltdown of a large segment of the Republican base as the realization that their candidate is about to lose the United States presidential election causes confusion, frustration, and rage. Observable as an avalanche of threats of violence, individuals desperately clinging to debunked bullshit, posting unproductive offensive posts, fleeting fantasies of punishing friends and family that pushed back on their shit, etal.
Occurs as this large segment of the Republican base gets angry at the fact much of their views are not shared by a majority of the voting population of the US and having their presidential candidate jerking off the Republican base all election doesn't win you the US presidential election base. If only more of their friends and family had realized the real truth as they themselves learned from some guy mouthing off at the bar about shit he doesn't understand, random easily disprovable Facebook shitposts, and from the only news sites not part of the vast conspiracy which of course are right-wing conspiracy sites.
Invokes a combination of horror and schadenfreude in observers where the observer can't decide if they should be ashamed by their friends or family or stock up on popcorn and at least try to get some entertainment out of the shitstorm. That and pray it doesn't progress to some form of real life white nationalist terrorism.
Holy shit man. The Meltdown has started. Look at this shit in my Facebook feed today.
When you piss off your Girlfriend just a little
Becky had a lil meltdown!
When working at a smoothie shop and having backed up blenders, smoothies that wont blend and worst of all: exploding smoothies. Must be simultaneous to be classified as a major smoothie meltdown. It's known to induce panic attacks and suicidal thoughts
I need backup, stat! We're having a major smoothie meltdown!
An situation when the temperature inside reactor core reaches such high levels that the fuel rods (made from Uranium) begin to melt their way down and destroy the reactor.
It usually happens when fuel rods cannot be cooled by a cold substance (for example heavy water) and they start vaporising every single molecule of water nearby, thus accelerating the process of building heat. The only thing operators can do now to stop it is to drop control rods, but it can be impossible because of built up pressure (that's how Chernobyl happened). When the control rods are down, the nuclear power plant crew still needs to resume water delivery to the reactor because of nuclear decay
TL:DR Nuclear fuel gets hot and burn it's way down the reactor.
Guy from Fukushima: The tsunami shut down our water pumps and now now the heat level is over the critical point. We have to evacuate whole wing of power plant and get fireman over here. Tell them there's high risk of Nuclear meltdown.
A period in time that arises at any given full time whistle in league one in which Sunderland AFC have once failed to be anything other than overrated delusional bottlejobs

Yasmin Cordero, while what can appear as an unimportant side character, actually served a very important part of the movie's plot. When Sid the Sloth went through his emotional breakdown on the iceberg midway through the film, Yasmin Cordero stood in the back, and smiled at Sid, which encouraged Sid to keep going. Yasmin Cordero's kind spirit is what allowed the hero of the movie to fight through his emotional breakdown.
Thank you, Ms. Yasmin Cordero (Ice Age 2: The Meltdown)!! - Sid the Sloth
