What is a Whammageddon - Have you been Whammageddoned yet?

 "Whammageddon" is a playful term used to describe the situation when someone accidentally or inadvertently mentions or hears a song from the '80s game show "Press Your Luck," specifically the soundbite "Whammy!" which signifies a player losing their earnings.


Here's a light-hearted take on "Whammageddon":


"Ah, the mythical beast known as 'Whammageddon'! Picture this: you're happily chatting away, enjoying a conversation about anything and everything, and suddenly, out of the blue, someone drops the 'Whammy!' bombshell. It's like a surprise guest from the '80s crashing your modern-day gathering!

Nothing is more "Whammageddony", than Wham!

You're in the zone, having the time of your life, then bam! You're hit with that iconic soundbite Last Christmas. It's like accidentally stepping on a Lego piece – surprising, mildly painful, but oddly hilarious! Because you have heard it 50 times in the day already. So not really just mildly painful, but painfully hurtful to the system!

And if you manage to dodge the 'Whammy!' for a while, you start feeling invincible, as if you're playing a high-stakes game without even realizing it. It's a battle against nostalgia, where every conversation becomes a stealth mission to avoid that catchy yet dreaded phrase. It's like playing musical chairs, but instead of chairs, it's about avoiding a retro game show snippet!

In the end, 'Whammageddon' is a quirky reminder that sometimes, the '80s just sneak up on you when you least expect it. Stay alert, my friends, because you never know when that mischievous 'Whammy!' might strike again!" But it seems you just cant avoit the Whammageddon as #Whammageddon seems to be trending on X and everywhere. Poor you. X- Mashed before the day!
