You've shown that you misunderstand the term. Your misunderstanding includes nonsense examples like "those dictionaries are a dumpster fire". Nobody else would say that.
The "dumb-store-burning" thing is something you made up and you've already managed to convince yourself it's the real definition.
Folk etymologies are never a good way to define a term, but this one is particularly weird and out of nowhere.

I know what a dumpster fire is in the broadest sense, a shit show, a farce, perhaps a tire fire that is toxic and impossible to extinguish. The rhyme on dumb I think is certainly effective. Sure, it's my own observation. > you've already managed to convince yourself it's the real definition I prefer to speak with authority and leave my guesswork implicit. Mistakes I make then are problematic. I'm not above mistakes, so the assumption that I might be wrong is implicit as well. That's only fair, in fact it seems the only way to speak with conviction if the other site asserts authority in the same way. I call it ''objective'', when I can avoid making ad-hominem arguments -- like you do. Rhetorical question: Are you enjoying that?
