earth-shattering
A type of death from above where a bunch of people get knocked down at once. It’s like when your teacher yells your name and you’re the only one who didn’t do their homework.
The principal yelled ‘Taco Tuesday is cancelled’ and the whole school screamed.
My mom screamed ‘You forgot your lunch again’ and I fell off my chair.
My dog ran into the kitchen and knocked over the whole cabinet. It was like a death from above.
