The act of launching a projectile at a close target, but missing due to a temporary inability to aim / perceive the distance of said object/target.
Throwing a ball of paper at the bin that's less than 3 feet away from you and missing would prompt a bystander to proclaim "My Word, You've just done an Eardley.
