Dogastrophe

Dogastrophe: noun. A dogastrophe (not to be confused with a dogasstrophy, a reward for dogs with nice behinds) is a dramatic event with very positive consequences. Dogastrophes tend to occur right after catastrophes in a very relativistic sense, as a turn from the terrible to the not-as-terrible is still a great relief. So-called 'pure dogastrophes,' i.e. dogastrophes that do not directly follow catastrophes, are very rare and many Christians claim that the last one happened around 2000 years ago.
