lion it 

Pronounced lai·uhn it

Phrasal verb

A nod to the enduring legacy of the Detroit Lions.

1. the inability to hold onto the lead

3. to discover a new and impressive way to lose, even when victory seemed assured

Detroit looked great during the regular season but couldn't help but lion it when they got into the playoffs.

The number one Detroit Lions were highly favored against the sixth seeded Washington Commanders in the NFL Divisional Playoff round but they lioned it and lost by two touchdowns.

After a 17 point lead at halftime the Detroit Lions were minutes away from defeating the San Francisco 49ers and making their first Super Bowl appearance. However, the during the second half the Detroit lioned it in spectacular fashion with multiple failed fourth down conversions which effectively handed San Francisco a trip to the Super Bowl.

Detroit really lioned it in the 2008 season and did not win one game.

JESUS CHRIST ITS A LION GET IN THE CAR by Ben Tricarico May 14, 2008

JESUS CHRIST ITS A LION GET IN THE CAR

A reference to an internet meme whose roots trace back to the a webcomic "Toothpaste for Dinner" dated August 30, 2005, titled “Basic Electronic Symbols."
In this comic strip, there were drawings of a Resistor, a Capacitor, and JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR.

Nowadays the phrase is a typical response to phrases or combinations of phrases like such as:
"Rawr."
"I am a lion"
">:3"

Depending on whether Jesus Christ is present or not, he may render assistance to your current predicament.

Lion: "Rawr. I am a Lion. >:3"
You: "JESUS CHRIST ITS A LION GET IN THE CAR!"
Jesus Christ with a sawed-off shotgun: "I'll handle the lion, you just get in the car."
