Any dumb or accidental action that causes an enormous let down, especially if it occurs at a critical time.
The term originates from sports, especially Rugby League, where "Coach Killers" are any dumb, accidental or glory-seeking plays occur which fall short of expectations. This term can be applied to any action which hopes or expectations were high, and one has the ability to adequately complete the task, however, the person manages to make a mistake, resulting in an unimpressive result.
In a Rugby League sense, a coach killer would be when a player, who could easily score by simply touching the ball on the ground, attempts to impress the crowd with a glory seeking dive, which results in the ball being dropped. This is especially true at critical moments of the game, such as when the scores are tied, or when scores are tight. The term originally referred to the player's coach, who, suffering a severe let-down, is metaphorically 'killed' by poorly executed play.

Get the Coach Killer mug.I met this great guy last night and took him home. He told me he had never fucked another guy before. I told him not to worry. I bent down and spread my cheeks and he tried to stick his cock up my arse but his lack of experience showed, as it took him several attempts to get it in the hole. He was a clackerwhacker!

This definition comes from the 1800's when stage coaches were a popular form of transportation. Amish kids of today add swagger to their horse drawn coaches thus making them Swagger Coaches. This can apply to any form of transportation including cars, motorcycles, etc.

Get the Swagger Coach mug.A suburb of Portland, Oregon. Largely known as Cracka-My-Ass because that's what downtown (is there a downtown?) Clackamas looks and smells like.
Job opportunities largely do not exist in Clackamas, unless you like working at the local "Hotdog on a stick" franchise. Of course most of the teenagers yearn to have such a highly skilled job, and they love those hot looking uniforms.
The parents of Clackamas think if they buy a 5 year old Escalade, that it will give them the same status as those new money wannabe's from West Linn. The reality is, their houses are sitting on top of each other, and they are all one paycheck away from taking their kid's shift at the aforementioned "Hotdog on a stick Franchise".

Get the Clackamas mug.Perhaps one of the most powerful ways of understanding coaching is from the end. If we know what we are intending to accomplish, we can correct our selves as we go along.
Coaching as being more than an accountability partner that supports someone in reaching his/her goals or as a disciplinarian who changes someone's unwanted actions. Instead coaching occurs in a bigger frame that sometimes includes these modalities but goes way beyond that.
Long-Term Excellent Performance:
Meaning the client meets the high objective standards of the discipline in which coaching is occurring. Standards are objective when they can be observed by any component person. For Example hitting a home run in baseball, nailing that lick in a song, sacking a quarterback w/ 5(sec) on the clock for the win, as is checkmate in a game of chess; however we must know something about each game to be able to observe these outcomes as favorable.
Self Correction:
Well-coached clients can observe when they are preforming well and when they are not. Making necessary adjustments independently of the coach. By keeping this criterion in mind, coaches can avoid the temptation of becoming indispensable and, instead, work to built the competence of their client.
Self Generation:
We, as people, can always improve, and well coached people know this and will find continually find ways on their own to do so.

They'll practice more, or they'll watch others preform, or learn an activity that will strengthen them in a new way that improves their competence.
From Flaherty's Book Coaching:
"I coached a man named Bob at a at a major oil Co. in California. Bob was referred to me by my friend Nancy, who worked as an internal human resources consultant. He was a competent and well-regarded accountant who traveled to various sites worldwide and audited drilling operations. But Bob had greater ambitions. He felt as if he were trapped by his own success, that management would never let him move on because he was doing such good work. at least that's what he told me. Bobs initial assumption was that by doing good work he would get noticed and promoted. when this didn't happen he blamed management for their shortsightedness and selfishness. This left Bob powerless; there was nothing he could do to change the thinking of his managers. Of course this is where a coach comes in. a coach is someone who build a respectful relationship with a client. Then researches the situation the client find themselves in. Coaches address both short and long-term views. Short in the sense that they support their clients in reaching their goals. Long term that the client will always have more challenges later and must be left competent to deal with these situations, while simultaneously conducting a fulfilling life."
