Okay, I just did a search here and got 359 hits for SHTF.

My question is, is it time to retire this phrase? Does anyone have a better one to describe essentially the same concept?

And please, don't say TEOTWAWKI....:)

What's the matter with SHTF?

It is simple, direct, to the point and every one knows what it means.

How about "social meltdown?" I've always liked that better than SHTF.

What? You mean we have an expression that is near-universally understood? We can't have that! Quick, somebody inject some confusion by changing the expression!

If it ain't broke,...

I know this is OOTO, but FYI, it would suck when your SOOL when the SHTF, IMO - YKWIS?

There is an acronym that combines SHTF & BFE that can be used by any Mall Ninja. No, not SHTFBFE.

Boats, that is totally cool. Now if we just had some way of setting it to music.
