Bandera de España

/ca-la-mi-DAD/

In Spain, a walking disaster — a clumsy, hapless person who ruins everything they touch without ever learning from their mistakes. A calamidad doesn't improve, they just find new things to wreck.

Example

"She's a disaster in the kitchen, she burns everything including water."

"You're such a disaster, always breaking something!"
