Doom, X of
Derivation: Common


Doom, X of:

[common] A construction similar to `Death, X of, but derived rather from the Cracks of Doom in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. The connotations are slightly different; a Foo of Death is mainly being held up to ridicule, but one would have to take a Foo of Doom a bit more seriously.
