One Law Student's Quest For Love In A World Gone Mad

(Because I'm not a technical writer anymore.)

The phrase I'm coining today

turma fart - (n) - a pun whose sole saving grace is that it relies on professional jargon, greatly limiting the number of people who groan at it

Example:
Anne's high school has a huge spring dance for juniors and seniors every year that most impartial observers would agree is the best in the state. Her school's principal, a family friend, makes a personal vow to Anne that Anne's senior dance will be the best the school has ever held. Believing this promise, Anne purchases a very expensive dress and induces her boyfriend to hire a limousine to transport them to and from the event. On the night of the dance, however, she arrives at the school gym with her date to find only a few card tables set up in a corner with cans of generic diet cola and plates of saltine crackers, and a handful of couples swaying desultorily to elevator music piped over the school's intercom.

Distraught and in tears, Anne flees outside, intent on returning home. There is a steep grassy embankment next to the area where the limousine is parked, and Anne slips and falls, staining and tearing her expensive dress, and gouging a large scratch in the limousine's door with her shoe.

Does Anne have a case on the grounds of prom-is-sorry ass topple?
