Eberflus Verb: The act of repeatedly fumbling a sure success into failure in the most baffling and avoidable ways imaginable, often with zero self-awareness. "Man, I totally eberflused that interview—spilled my coffee, forgot my resume, and still asked about vacation days first." *Noun*: A term for a spectacular blunder where victory was certain but escapes grasp; similar to a sports blunder like Buckner's error, yet without the redeeming career achievements. "That loss was a total eberflus—all they had to do was hang onto the lead, but they blew it like a Doc Rivers postseason." *Disambiguation*: "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" captures the essence of an eberflus moment; a consistent pattern of failure in situations set up for triumph.
