Slang Term used to describe a situation where someone accidentally eliminates a person that's important for a plan to work out.
Term is taken from the character of the same name in the movie "Dog eat Dog" that should give them their money but gets shot by accident because the 3 main characters confused him with the husband of the woman they should actually kidnap.
Person 1: " ok we're done when will we get the money."
Person 2: " you idiots shot the guy that should deliver the money!"
Person 1: " What? But wasn't he the husband of the woman whose baby we were supposed to kidnap?"

Joe: I did it, but can I get it to you tomorrow?
Teacher: Yes...
