TOP DEFINITION
A tongue-in-cheek prophecy often made when someone is getting into a situation that looks doomed or risky. Essentially: "this is not going to end well." Frequently used on social media with a humorous tone to warn someone about their choices (relationships, impulse buys, etc.).
"He's trading his steady job for quick money in crypto? Yoh… it will end in tears, mark my words, Nomsa tweeted, playfully pessimistic about his plan."
