1. Failing miserably at something that should have been easy. The failure is generally magnified by the gravity of the success.
2. Making something easy look ridiculously hard.
3. Refers directly to the baseball that dribbled slowly between former Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner's legs in the 1986 World Series versus the New York Mets. This error allowed the Mets to extend the series to a 7th game where they won convincingly.

1. We would have had free tickets to see that rock concert if Mario didn't buckner the answer to that trivia question.
2. "So the winning run is at second base, with two outs, three and two to Mookie Wilson. (A) little roller up along first... behind the bag! It gets through Buckner! Here comes Knight, and the Mets win it!" -- game call by Vin Scully

a foolish foolish person, a tard, a loser (ala Bill Buckner the former Boston Red Sox first baseman who lost the 1986 World Series by letting an easy ground ball go through his legs).
Mookie Wilson thinks you are a buckner because you like Justin Timberlake, wear white socks with your jesus sandals, and sport a fanny pack on your annual trips to Disney World.

having an important deadline to meet for your client only to find out at the last minute that your consultant didn't come through for you and either needs more time or did everything wrong
Skyler was throttled by his client after he explained that the project was behind because they had been bucknered.

In any sport, to have the ball accidentally roll between one's legs, based upon the famous error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

v. to misplay an easy ground ball
by Chuck from Maine December 23, 2004
A scape-goat for the 1986 lost of the Boston Red Sox to the odviously superior New York Metropolitains. Mookie wilson (mets outfeilder)hit a soft easily catchable grounder down the 1st baseline. When to the unhappyness of many Bostonians he let the ball roll through his legs in a blunder that allowed the Mets win the 6th game of the 1986 world series. The Mets would later win the 7Th game and pull a major upset and become World Series Championship.
*my imitation of a boston fan during bill buckner's mistake* "hooooooooly shit what just happened?"

*silence*
