Conored it

To "Conor it" is used when someone drops the ball, usually in a critical catching situation. It is derived from Conor Murphy, an American citizen so poor at catching the ball, even "stone hands" doesn't quite give the term justice. Conor Murphy's lack of catching ability has earned the phrase to "Conor it", "Conoring it", or "Conored it" when a situation arises where a person is completely unable to execute a very simple catch.

"Bill Buckner simply needed to snap the grounder from 1st base to clinch the World Series title, but instead he Conored it and Mets were able to win."

"I totally Conored that catch, I am so disappointed in myself"
