hubris of failure

the over confidence in one's ability to deal with failure; rooted in having survived so many "fails", especially "epic fails", that one has the ability to head boldly into any situation, no matter how hopeless, and have the confidence that when faced with inevitable failure, they will invariably figure out how to deal with it...
She has hubris of failure and thinks that she'll figure out how to keep herself out of any real trouble. She once bragged that she'd been arrested three times and had yet to be convicted of anything.

Hubris

Extreme arrogance that leads to ones downfall, vaguely connected to Irony.
E.g. Thomas Tomstall passed his driving test making a point out of it by jingling his keys and comparing his driving skills to the size of his penis. Later that day young Thomas was driving down a country lane at 90mph when low and behold he got air in his car and flipped over a ravine.

The next day when his class mates found out about Thomas's fate all that could be said was "LOL! HUBRIS!"

hubris

Hubris is a mental state where someone (usually while playing a video game) thinks that he or she is the MAN. This is a common human trait however there are few who merit the reputation of hubris. One can tell when another displays hubris as trash talk, derogatory language involving relatives, siblings and sodomy are expressed. Hubris often leads to a person's downfall or humility especially after being defeated and excuses are often made. Hubris is often found in dorms and buildings where video games take place however there are a few exceptions.There are many forms of hubris and is often perceived as a fatal flaw.
Here is a display and verbal use of hubris.

"A person taking off his shirt after a game and make rubbing it into the other player's face." This often results in the man displaying hubris to put a shirt on.

This is merely a verbal display of hubris

"Look at you, you come out of pipes and I step out from darkness." The one displaying hubris was later teamed upon on and thoroughly destroyed.
