A "Grilled Ham and Cheese, or "Ghac" (which is exactly the sound made by one who commits such a faux pas) is when you're in such a hurry to show how smart you are that you make a stupid/very stupid mistake and send in a super-quick but super-wrong answer; resulting in public shame and a complete erasure and destruction of a smug smirk. (a "ghac" differs slightly from being "pageanted," because the latter phenomenon stems from a group of solvers being fooled by a constructor; whereas a "ghac" falls to one fool alone). Having done so means a) I should be found guilty on one count of POE, b) all but 9 solvers get to move one step closer to the top, c) I should spend the rest of the week doing naked push-ups on a coral reef (you'll want to avoid picturing that), and d) I don't deserve the Guinness I requested. Still gonna drink it; I just don't deserve it.

My Jesuit friends believe in the importance of Humility and they actually pray for it. "Let me realize that when I am humble I am most human, most truthful, and most worthy of Your serious consideration."

There ya go, @Al Sisti , don't you feel better now?! (interrobang)

Sometimes a gourmet meal needs a simple sorbet thrown in to cleanse the palate, in order to regroup and better savor what follows... and sometimes that sorbet comes in the form of humble pie.
