Crying Like a Russian Gymnast

When one is repeatedly moved to tears after failing at an accomplishment they've worked tirelessly towards.

First noticed during the 2012 London Olympics when the Women's Russian Gymnastics team were often shown crying after one anothers less than stellar performances.

While completely understandable, it can become a bit ridiculous at a point.
Andy: Dude, why is Whitney wailing in her cubicle?

Shawn: Oh, the boss' son got the promotion that she thought was hers. So now she's crying like a Russian gymnast.

Russian accident 

A Russian accident is when someone falls out of a window of a tall building. Named after a common form of death in Russia for opponents of the Russian government.
Vasily was found dead after experiencing a Russian accident from his apartment on the fifth floor. Days earlier, he posted on social media that he opposed the war in Ukraine. His online comments are presumably unrelated to his death.

Act of Russian

Doing something stupid; an outrageous act of stupidity. Any video from Russia captured on a potato camera.
Person: So I was playing with fire and decided that wasn't dangerous enough. So I used a piece of glass as a hot plate and started boiling candle wax! The glass, not made for such heat, exploded sending red hot pieces of shrapnel glass and boiling wax, all over me!

Doctor: well, it seems you have accomplished your Act of Russian for the day.
