overshot the landing

When you are trying to dose out your medicinal cannabis and you take too much.
"I physically can't get off the couch, I was taking my meds and I overshot the landing."

Overshot your sheets

Hooking up with someone more attractive than you. Dating someone higher class than you.
If you’re an average guy hooking up with a supermodel you really overshot your sheets.

Golden Overshot 

When performing a Golden Handshake (definition on this site), one pretends to accidentally overshoot the forearms, faking apologies the whole time, but continuing to soak the would-be business partner's torso and legs in piss until one's bladder is completely emptied (excusing it all with "once I start I can't stop--it burns"). This technique is often used as a subtle form of mockery of the would-be business deal, or a way to express doubts of the profitability of the alliance.
Eager to seal the deal, Henry agreed to the Golden Handshake but was somewhat hurt when John surprised him with the Golden Overshot.
Golden Overshot by BigLud May 22, 2014
Used to describe a bathroom that was once the ideal bathroom in a location, but has become repulsive due to the amount of excrement endured by it.
"Dude, that M Building bathroom used to be so clean, but it's so overshat now."

Overshower 

1. To spend so long in the shower that you have to modify or skip other things you do to get ready for work, school, etc (akin to oversleeping). Signs of this in others include wet hair, mismatched clothing, and/or lack of make-up;
2. To shower so long that you are actually late for an event. Often a catalyst for Murphy's Law to take effect.
"Can we stop at McDonald's on the way into work? I overshowered and I didn't have time to make breakfast."

"Sorry I'm so late! I overshowered and then it took me forever to find my car keys."
