What a travesty

When the word 'travesty' is used in place of 'tragedy', 'tragedy' gets very jealous. Just because 'travesty' looks and sounds so much like 'tragedy', doesn't mean 'travesty' should get all the credit. 'Travesty' hasn't worked one goddamn day in its life, I tell you. Just ripping people off left and right.

One could say that 'travesty' is a travesty...of 'tragedy'.

TRAVESTY: any grotesque or debased likeness or imitation
