"Catatrophe"? Sounds like a calamitious apostrophe or a tropical fruit to me.
Or do you mean "catastrophe"? Or "calamine"? "Or "calamari"?
Just a hint - proper spelling makes the information you're trying to convey so much clearer...

I am getting tired of people asking silly questions like this?
Can not you spell check your question before sending?
You may mean 'catastrophe'- its meaning is an extremely bad event that causes a lot of suffering and destruction.
Refer any good ' Dictionary ' before you ask such things in future.

Do you mean "Catastrophe". It means a terrible disaster or accident, especially one that leads to great loss of life

If that isn't a typo, then:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/trope
Put these together, and you'd have something along the lines of "opposite direction" or "opposite form" or something to that effect, or perhaps a figure of speech opposing another figure of speech.
