Cross referencing

A commonly used phrase to inform someone (usually a supervisor or someone in charge) that you have absolutely no idea what the answer to a particular question or problem is, but that you will do some digging immediately...

Captain Kirk: "ensign, do we have any data or record of a previous encounter on this enemy craft?"

Ensign: "... cross referencing all known databases now Captain!"

Crossed the Rubincon

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.

Defined as: To fail so badly at a task as to transcend the task completely.

Example:
Guy 1: "Instead of running the race, he walked the wrong way into the bushes."
Guy 2: "Yeah, he totally Crossed the Rubincon."
Guy 1: "What does that mean?"
Guy 2: "He's just as bad at running as Dave Rubin is at Comedy!"

Cross map snipe

When you are playing pool, and you aim to snipe a ball on the other side of the table into its pocket, but you miss everything and the cue ball (the white ball) goes into the pocket instead. This means you have fouled, and the opponent can place the ball wherever they want. A cross map snipe usually results in a loss.

2026 Pool World Championships Finals in Amherst, Game 5

Verd: Check me out, I'ma end you with this cross map snipe
Shreeto: *starts sweating*
Verd: *misses everything and gets the cue ball in*
Verd: *dramatically falls on the floor in immense emotional pain*

Shreeto won the World Championship on her next turn.
