In matters of creativity, the process of continually developing so many complex ideas that a believable/acceptable resolution becomes impossible.
This concept is often visible in media entertainment, because it allows great individual ideas to build upon one another without negative consequence for a period of time. This tends to generate enormous popularity, as viewers ultimately expect to see how each idea is related, and what the endgame plan for the creation was.
This particular expression also embodies the feeling of extreme letdown that occurs when one realizes an entire creative structure has collapsed because no thought was given to the resolution, only to the individual ideas that preceded it.
The phrase derives from the series finale of the television show Lost. Many viewers felt the finale failed to sufficiently elaborate on the ideas that had made the show interesting, therefore cheapening them and in turn nullifying what had been the show's greatest strength.

Did you hear that excuse little Johnny tried to give the teacher? I swear, he was pulling a lost!
I like that television show a lot, but I'm hesitant because I think it might be pulling a lost.
His story had a flying chimpanzee, three harmonicas, a Bangladeshian warlock, and a dying supernova! Dude pulled a lost!!!

Get the Gambled and lost mug.When you've got something going for you so good (money, women, fame, power, respect) that you become out of touch with reality and start: acting reckless, taking unnecessary risks, and get caught slipping.
Ex 1: Dude making so much money trapping that he starts to slip up and not take proper precautions.
Ex 2: Movie examples: Scarface, Paid in Full, Juice (fell in love w/ the gun), Wolf of Wall Street, Casino, Goodfellas
Ex 3: Dennis Schroder turning down 80m from the lakers because he wanted 100-120m.
The term was coined by Gucci mane: "If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can got lost in the sauce."
Let's break down what he means. "If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost." - with no sauce (money, women, fame, power, respect) then what is that man living for? He's lost. "But the same man can got lost in the sauce" - too much of a good thing can be detrimental.
