“PITA storm is defined by Webster as: A series of pains in one’s ass that occur in a rapid and irritating sequence.” — C. Michael Close, noted horror movie director and software developer
While you won't really find PITA storm in the dictionary, this charming alternative to phrases like clusterfuck or shit hitting the fan shouldn't get you in trouble with any small children and/or Mormons that might be around — especially if they don’t know that PITA stands for pain in the ass.
“How many things can go wrong in one day?” complained M.F. “What a PITA storm.”
“Yep. Total clusterfuck,” agreed M.C.
