Like Pornography, it's tough to define but you know it when you see it.
It is important to realize you can use the word as a noun or as a verb, and to me it has more utility as a verb. Collapse is a process that occurs over time, it has past, present and future tenses. Our civilization has not yet collapsed, it is in the process of collapsing. What I do nowadays mainly is to note various events that are occuring which are leading indicators of further unraveling of Industrial Civilization. No one of these events is the end or even the beginning of the end of the process, although it is the end of the beginning (thank you illuminati scumbag Winston Churchill).
Picking benchmark numbers to label our civilization's place on the collapse timeline is quite arbitrary and varies a lot by location. However, the trajectory everywhere now is the same wherever you go and whatever benchmark you care to examine. It's headed South.
