Adjective: A situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders and miscalculations. First used in the British satirical television series The Thick of It.

Example sentence(s):

Ken could still win. Anger at the Prime Minister and his omnishambolic administration could still tip the scales. The Telegraph
On charities, the reality is that the Prime Minister is not making the rich worse off. He is making charities worse off. Over the past month we have seen the charity tax shambles, the churches tax shambles, the caravan tax shambles and the pasty tax shambles, so we are all keen to hear the Prime Minister’s view on why he thinks, four weeks on from the Budget, even people within Downing Street are calling it an omnishambles Budget.

všemasakrální

Definition from own experience or research:
Přídavné jméno: Situace, která byla spravována naprosto špatně, charakterizovaná řadou omylů a nesprávných kroků. Původní anglické slovo „omnishambles“ bylo poprvé použito v britském satirickém televizním seriálu „Je to soda“ (The Thick of It).

Example sentence(s):

There is no example sentence in Czech language containing this word as the word is newly made up. - https://www.csfd.cz/film/236272-je-to-so

Explanation:
Toto slovo v českém jazyce zatím nebylo použito. V českých titulcích seriálu Je to soda se používá překlad „chodící masakr“. Nicméně si myslím, že „všemasakrální“ lépe vyjadřuje samou podstatu původního slova „omni-shambles“, které vzniklo úpravou slova „omnipotent“ (t.j. všemocný).
