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.
