strag·e·dy [stra-jed-ee]
noun
- A carefully devised plan of action to achieve a goal which leads to a tragic conclusion. Often implemented quickly, with great cheer and rejoicing.
- The adaptation important to de-evolutionary success: a term that is often associated with those who manage to earn themselves a Darwin Award.
Usage: “It was a stragedy to forgo a formal contract in order to create a casual go-with-the-flow atmosphere. Now we live in a trailer with three other families and a professional gambler named Buba.”
I can’t find stragedy in the dictionary…
That’s funny Araceli! The point is this word doesn’t exist. We made it up and are defining it here.
It is a play on words. Peter & I make a game of combining two words to derive a whole new meaning:
Strategy Tragedy = Stagedy.
past ones were “Vague deadline” and “Permabeta”
That’s funny! My husband and I combine words all the time – we call them smords (smooshed words).
Hope you guys are doing well!

Love it. It was a “stragedy” that I trusted some online guy to be faithful to me after the fated words ILY were uttered.
Thankfully, I met Mr. Right a year later and celebrated my own “ex’cess.” (A failed relationship with an ex that led to success. Yes. He was my “Good Luck Chuck.”)
