faceplant

Faceplant (noun)

1. The end point for a catastrophic loss of equilibrium during a ballistic biped activity, which results in a reorientation to a more stable form, that being a tripod, where the contact point for one of the legs is ... the face.

2. When used as a metaphor, the speed, mass and impact site involved in a traditional faceplant is exchanged for the planter’s wealth, power, fame and/or intent. Stability of form, or the metaphoric tripod, is a fundamental reduction in available choices, combined with humiliation, the ultimate expression of which is ... the mug shot.

3. Faceplants can be employed in male bonding. The ritual faceplant was popularized by the Jackass movies, where the participants engaged in voluntary, shared activities resulting in epic levels of humiliation and/or pain.

Pizza Faceplant

The act of being so incapacitated (be it from drink, or lack of sleep, or other) that you fall face-forward into a plate of food in front of you. Although the name specifically mentions pizza, it is not necessary that the food you fall into be a pizza. The messier the food the better, however, so pizza will always be the benchmark against which all other Pizza Faceplants are judged.

May be used as a noun or a verb
