Jacobellis

To embarassingly sabatoge one's own chance at success moments before acheivement by becoming overly confident and showing off. Derived from U.S. snowboarder Lindsay Jacobellis' tumble at the 2006 Olympics.

Jimmy pulled a major Jacobellis the other day. He was almost at the finish line for the 400 meter, then he started dancing, and tripped. The other runners stepped on him, and he came in last. Poor Jimmy.

Jacobellis

Deservedly losing a competition by showing off before actually completing the race.

He was way in front of me by a mile and a half, then I got lucky when he pulled off a Jacobellis.

jacobism

A lie that is so rediculous that it is laughable. A person usally jacobs to impress their friends, but it often backfires causing the friends to dislike the jacober.

Billy tried to jacob his friends, and now they all hate him. Thus is jacobism.
