Fiaster and Disasco

For the first few years Alison and I would use this word with each other:
fiaster, noun. Something that's more than a fiasco, but not quite a disaster.
Then, one day, Lisa pointed out that if you swapped the order, you got something a little funnier:
disasco, noun. 1. Something that's more than a fiasco, but not quite a disaster. 2. A Latin dance performed by a poorly coordinated person.
Not surprisingly, I use "disasco" exclusively now.
