A condition in which a person has trouble either catching, or maintaining possession of an item. Usually refers to a pigskin, football or the "rock" but can be applied to dropping Momma's fine china on Thanksgiving Day or dropping a condom behind the headboard during application prior to coitus.
Stems from the word "Fumble" in football, in which a player loses possession of the football. Almost always occurs during moments of acute stress specifically when the desired end-state of a situation is within the grasp of an individual but then victory slips through the fingers of the fostering individual resulting in disaster.

Fostering is not limited to sports:
1) Dude why did you just foster the christmas turkey on the floor? Now we gotta eat spam covered with brown sugar instead.
2)All he had to do was juke the Florida Safety and he would have had 6!!! But he lost his emotions and effing tossed the ball into the stands, fostering the game away.
Game over, Florida Tatters our windsock again...

Short for Foster's Home for Imaginary friends. When kids get too old they don't need imaginary friends anymore so they stay at Foster's until they get adopted by another child (presumably with no imagination of their own).
Foster herself is a little old lady who still has her imaginary bunny friend.

Mr. Unicorn, we regret to inform you little Stacy is dead, so you'll be staying at Foster's from now on.
