/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "mee" (as in "me") + "DAHD" (as in "dart")/
In Spain, a walking disaster, a clumsy and hapless person who manages to ruin tasks, break things, and cause chaos without even trying. Unlike someone who just has a bad day, a calamidad has a stable pattern of accidents and errors that never seems to improve.
“She is a total disaster in the kitchen, she burns even the simplest things.”
“What a calamity, he broke something again and nobody even asked him to touch anything!”
