cascade
 n.

    1. A huge volume of spurious error-message output produced by a compiler
    with poor error recovery. Too frequently, one trivial syntax error (such as
    a missing ?)? or ?}?) throws the parser out of synch so that much of the
    remaining program text is interpreted as garbaged or ill-formed.

    2. A chain of Usenet followups, each adding some trivial variation or
    riposte to the text of the previous one, all of which is reproduced in the
    new message; an include war in which the object is to create a sort of
    communal graffito.

   program text, whether correct or not, is interpreted as
   garbaged or ill-formed.

   2.  A chain of Usenet followups, each adding some
