I need the help of the Huddle masses. I've been Shibacled!

Deion Sanders called the Herchel Walker trade a "Shibacle". I need to know what the Huddle masses think the definition of this word should be. After getting enough suggestions, I'll create a poll and let everyone vote on it, so if this word is ever used again in the English language, we will all be in agreement as to what the word means.

In a Thursday night appearance on NFL Network, Deion Sanders compares the trade of Donovan McNabb from the Eagles to the Redskins to the "Herschel Walker shibacle."

Sanders eventually calls the move the "dumbest trade ever."

Sorry, I can't be of any help here. I speak English, French, & some coon-ass. Ebonics is way beyond my comprehension.

Before we get inundated with more bad jokes and mildly racist "a black man said something I don't understand, must be that ebonics stuff Ma told me about" comments, I'll point out that shibacle is a term used in the gaming community for some time now. It is a portmanteau of "sh*t" and "debacle" meaning an extremely messed up and confused situation.

A quick Google search nets me a few results such as this from a gamer board:

Idk much about the company making this (It's not Yukes so Hallelujah) but THQ. Now here is hoping they don't pull that Spore shibacle much less make it so we can't mod the game much less tweak it as we please.

Here on page two of YouTube comments:

look i have clared this shibacle up, i like americans, just not america.

Americans = honest people.

America = Over-run government who's meaning of peace is war on a small insergent country who can't protect themselves.

And here on a message board of gentlemen involved in possibly illicit gambling:

I dont think that Jimmymacconcrack dude got paid yet. The whole shibacle may be a clandescant faerie tale.

All three of these examples are clearly time stamped well before yesterday, the oldest being from July of last year. Sanders can claim to have coined the phrase, as most people had not heard the term before yesterday, but he did not pull it out of thin air.

i've heard the word many times. i don't know where it came from or who first used it, but it's hardly new.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
