Definitions
An over-the-top slang superlative meaning spectacularly terrible — like 'craptastic' but with extra theatrical flair tacked on the end. When something isn't just bad but amazingly, impressively bad, craptastical is your word. The suffix '-ical' adds a fake-formal grandeur that makes the insult funnier. It's rare but knowable, used online and in snarky conversation to mock something that has achieved a kind of legendary awfulness. Think bad movies, corporate buzzwords, or a Monday that just will not quit.
The sequel somehow managed to be even more craptastical than the first film.

- craptacular80%
(US, slang, vulgar) Spectacularly awful; so poor in quality as to become a spectacle.
- craptabulous79%
A sarcastic portmanteau of 'crap' and 'fabulous' used to describe something spectacularly, almost impressively bad. The word weaponises enthusiasm — the '-tabulous' ending implies grandeur and excitement, which makes it land harder as an insult for something that is irredeemably terrible. Perfect for describing a disastrous movie, a catastrophically bad meal, or any situation that has gone so wrong it almost becomes its own achievement. Delivered with the right tone, it's more devastating than a plain 'awful.'
