Answer
It’s actually gleaming the cube and as the Urban Dictionary says:
To fail so badly that there is
brilliance in the failure; A phrase
coined by Cinema Abattoir bloggers in
reference to a 1989 movie starring
Christian Slater.
The movie they’re talking about is of the same name, Gleaming the Cube.
Beware the story of how the movie title came to be:
The title of the film reputedly refers
to a gibberish statement skater Garry
Davis made in a Thrasher magazine
interview with Neil Blender. The
phrase itself is meaningless.
