ass over tin cups

Definition

To take a spectacular, comedic tumble that's somehow both humiliating and hilarious to watch—the kind of fall that's so dramatic and absurd it becomes legendary. Think slapstick physics meets human vulnerability.

Example Usage

This guy went ass over tin cups down an entire flight of stairs, and somehow walked away with just a bruised ego.
