Doing a Glitter 

When you have done something really bad which you hope no one ever finds out about, but you inexplicably and unintentionally hand the evidence to the police/the boss/you wife and suffer the consequences.
Doing a Glitter refers to Garry Glitter, aging UK glam rock star, who handed his PC into the repair shop as it had crashed, but he forgot it contained hundreds of pictures of child pR0n. They called the Cops. He was soon convicted as a sex offender and jailed.

Not to be confused with "Up the Glitter" which is what he was supposed to have asked the underaged girl in Vietnam, which was where he ended up after leaving the UK. Again he was convicted and jailed.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
