n. [deliberate mangling of `tragedy']
An incident in which someone who clearly deserves to be selected out
of the gene pool on grounds of extreme stupidity meets with a messy
end. Coined on the Darwin list, which is dedicated to chronicling
such incidents; but almost all hackers would instantly recognize the
intention of the term and laugh.
