Ballew It

When you blew something so monumentally that not only your entire circle of friends, but your biological family is aware of just how deeply you screwed up. Apart from the generic, the connotation of this term transcends the platonic, romantic, and sexual; especially when you allowed your partner's judgement to override basic common sense, costing you something far greater than they could ever offer. Bonus points if your losing the draw was directly analogous to a friend or, say, father's gambit.

Rhys was my closest friend-- close enough to give me the best blowjob I ever had (which I told him expressly never to tell Emily)-- but Emily (who was also having sex with Rhys) was jealous, and told me that Rhys conspired with two of my other friends against him. I let her use me like a doberman, and it cost me three friends and the respect of at least five others.

Like my father before me, I Ballew It.
