The Oxford English Dictionary�s 2012 word of the year is �omnishambles�.

Although omnishambles is still most commonly used in political contexts, usage has evolved rapidly in other contexts to describe any debacle or poorly managed situation. Omnishambles, derived from omni- (�all�) and shambles (�a state of total disorder�), has given rise to its own derivative, omnishambolic, indicating that potentially this is a word with staying power.
