Azkaban...a place or a situation that is either miserable or just plain sucky. It is usually applied in terms of work, annoyances and sometimes a tragic situation.
Origins... I am unhealthy obsessed with Harry Potter. The third book remains one of the main reasons I have chosen to attempt a career in literature. The character development just floors me every single time I read it. Since the age of 16 that book has shaped so much of my life. One of the things that strikes me most is just how terrible Azkaban prison seems...even tho she never actually wrote a detailed description of what life in Az is like, but we see that everyone who leaves returns either insane or deeply haunted, and looking like concentration camp victims. The prison literally sucks every happy memory from their victims. Granted I have never been anywhere near as terrible as Azkaban but there are certianly several places/situations that make speakers of Sarahish feel pretty darn miserable.
Example: "I am in overdraft again! What an Azkaban!"
