pull a clemson

To make it to a big stage or high point and then fail beyond comprehension. To fail miserably.

When someone screws up a work:
Well I guess you will have to talk to the boss about that - you pulled a clemson.

To my son, You have a test today. Well don't pull a clemson.

When the check out clerk at Walmart rings up an item twice - Hey you pulled a clemson on my bill.
