Let's Play Dictionary

Here's a new game. I'll give you a definition and you see if you can invent a word that fits it, okay?

What do you call it when you come up with a new and innovative solution for a problem, but instead of fixing the problem, your you-beaut solution ends up making the problem worse than you had imagined it could possibly get; effectively redefining your idea of a worst-case scenario?

I may or may not need to use this word right now.

There's probably a German word for that. Fixastrophe?

Good thinking Suze.

Hmmm, how about "catastrofix"?

Or, um, "der catastrofix"?
