Etymology: Sergei Bubka, the Ukrainian world record holder in the Pole Vault was known for breaking his own world record over a dozen times by just one centimeter at a time -- even though most experts believed he could have gone over 5 or 10 cm higher. His motivation each time he did it by 1 cm was that he got a US$1 million bonus from his sponsor NIKE.
The term now can be used as a verb or noun.
1. Bubka: to break one's own record by the smallest increment in order to ensure that one can do it again and again.
Other forms:
past tense: Bubkaed
present continuous tense: Bubkaing
