An unintended action that can either result in 1. great success or 2. colossal failure. Made popular by YTMND, it's a fad that is pretty much dead. Most epic maneuvers result in failure, and you'll be remembered for such actions.
Examples of an epic maneuver:
1. You're bowling and you throw the ball, but it results in a 7-10 split. On the next ball, through some miracle, you throw it and you manage to knock both pins over.
2. Let's say you're the QB in a football game. After the snap, when you're poised to throw, your fingers lose grip of the ball and it results in a fumble, which is recovered by the opposing team.

Get the epic maneuver mug.A shameless, selfless act by an employee that is designed to kiss the ass of the boss so that the boss becomes even fuller of himself than he was prior to the maneuver.
Suck Ass Employee - "Hey boss, I have an idea that I think could enhance our profile among institutional investors. By the way, speaking of profile, you look like you’ve really been throwing the weights around. That Missoni sweater looks like it was made for you.”
Boss – “Don’t be silly Chaz. Anyway it was made for me last week when I was in Milan."
Suck Ass Employee - "I could tell! Are we still on for squash this afternoon? I want revenge after how badly you beat me our last time out.”
Boss – “We’re on. By the way, I’m starved. What’s that in your hand?"
Suck Ass Employee – “ It’s a scone baked by my great aunt. She flew back to England last night and made some before she left. This is the last one. Take it, it’s yours.”
Bystander - "That disgusting suck ass just executed the hindlick maneuver."
