Berlin ball drop

Definition: A messy, high-risk bedroom maneuver involving a partner suspended from a piece of furniture (or a "Techno Swing") who attempts to drop a heavy "payload" (wax, ice, or other fluids) onto a partner lying directly below them—all timed to the heavy bass drop of a 140 BPM industrial techno track.
The Logistics: The "Berlin" refers to the cold, industrial aesthetic and the "anything goes" basement club vibe. The "Ball Drop" refers to the gravitational inevitability of the act. It is considered a failure if the payload misses the target or if the person below flinches before the beat hits.
I had to call out of work on Monday because Klaus convinced me to try a Berlin Ball Drop at 4:00 AM. I’m still scraping candle wax out of the rug, and my downstairs neighbor thinks a pipe burst.

drop the ball

1. Make an error; miss an opportunity; fail.

2. To make a mistake, especially by doing something in a stupid or careless way.

3. To fail to keep working to reach a goal.

This expression comes from the game of FOOTBALL, where it's not a good thing to drop the ball when the ball is in play. It's mainly used based on failure and mistakes. So, if you want to tell someone how important it is to succeed in a particular activity, then this is a good expression to use.
