'ridiculous situations' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'wearing seabird suit' is the wordplay.
'wearing' is an anagram indicator (wear can mean to become damaged).
'seabird'+'suit'='seabirdsuit'
'seabirdsuit' with letters rearranged gives 'ABSURDITIES'.
