MEA - Mead Eruption Accident.
It can be as mild as having a little must forced up through the airlock and dribbling down the side of the carboy, or it can be severe enough to blow airlocks off with Vesuvian force spraying your ceiling and the whole room. Search for a thread started by me entitled "chocolate eruption" to read an example.

I make mead in my server room. But then, I'm the only guy I know whose wife allowed him to put a full height server rack in the kitchen beside the fridge... so...
