grand mistake

It's a term for a mistake so bad that it could change views from others permanently. Something you should most certainly not do, and you should know not to do it, but you do it thinking it's okay. Often used in sports to describe some mistakes prospects make. If a prospect make routine mistakes he should go on to have a good career. If a prospect makes grand mistakes- mistakes professional players do not make, he is going to be cut real soon and is just not able to develop into a star.

Mistake Whiskey

A metaphor for having done something you regret and can't take back. As with too much alcohol, the more Mistake Whiskey you consume, the worse you feel; especially the next day. Coined by J. Jacques in his webcomic Questionable Content.
"I had already drunk three quarters of the bottle of Mistake Whiskey, so I figured I might as well finish the whole thing."
