Fun British Slang

*Still, it's hard to see how this can last. Either Trump pulls his act
together, in which case the term won't apply, or things keep going
downhill for him -- in which case the fire may spread to an extent that
will be hard to depict as limited or amusing. Yes, my frame of mind has
been overly affected by regular recent listening to Mike Duncan
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Duncan_%28podcaster%29>'s brilliant
podcast series <http://www.revolutionspodcast.com/> on the French
Revolution, that years-long drama of spiraling chaos and terror that nobody
ever refers to as a feu de poubelle. Things probably won't end in disaster
like that. But it wouldn't just be a dumpster fire,
either.https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-03-30/the-dumpster-fire-hasn-t-been-put-out-quite-yet

Maybe I'm just giddy with the Advent of Spring.
