Definition of clown world ?

A dramatic way to say the world makes zero sense and everyone in charge is juggling chaos in full makeup. People drop “clown world” when news headlines feel like bad satire—wild scandals, upside-down policies, reality TV politics. It’s half joke, half coping mechanism: if everything’s ridiculous, at least you can laugh while it burns.

“They gave themselves a raise and cut lunch programs? Yeah, we’re fully in clown world now.”
