Crossing the Rubincon
A phrase used to describe someone performing a task so disastrously that they transcend the original goal, creating something entirely unrelated or bizarre in the process.
Origin:
The phrase is a play on "Crossing the Rubicon," which refers to Julius Caesar's fateful crossing of the Rubicon River in ancient Rome, symbolizing a point of no return. In this case, it humorously nods to Dave Rubin's infamous comedy special on April 8, 2018, which was considered so poorly executed that it surpassed comedy entirely, becoming something else altogether.

Get the Southern Cross mug.Stargate SG1, S1 Ep14 "Hathor", October 24th 1997, the character Dr Daniel Jackson uses the term when referring to his canonical works from the Stargate Film when looking at Hathor's Egyptian Sarcophagus which was found in a Mayan Temple.
"... they recognised the significance of an Egyptian Sarcophagus found in a Mayan Temple. And since I was the only one to ever research cross-pollination of Ancient Cultures... they tracked me down"
Term is later popularised by Youtuber Gigguk during 2020 during a Trash Taste Podcast episode.
