an unpleasant situation or event that causes problems for somebody/something 晦气；倒霉事 With this government we've had a double whammy of tax increases and benefit cuts. 自从这任政府上台以来，我们又是增加税收又是减少补贴，倒了双倍的霉。 U.S. oil producing companies are expected to feel a whammy from falling oil prices. 预计美国石油生产公司将受到油价下跌的打击。
Word Origin1940s: from the noun wham + -y; associated from the 1950s with the cartoon strip Li'l Abner, in which the hillbilly Evil-Eye Fleegle could “shoot a whammy” (to put a curse on somebody) by pointing a finger with one eye open, and a ‘double whammy’ with both eyes open.
