self-own
Language: English
Part of speech: noun

Etymology: From self- + own, in verb sense own (“to defeat or embarrass; to overwhelm”), from Internet and gaming subculture.
Senses: examples: text: All of this has set the stage for ownage’s latest twist: the rise of the self-own. If an own exposes another person’s ignorance, a self-own reveals your own obliviousness. During the campaign, Bobby Jindal tried to insult President Trump on Twitter but ended up suggesting that only fools would donate to Jindal’s campaign: “We have met. You wrote a check. A fool & his money are soon parted. A fool & his dad’s money are parted sooner.” Jindal owned himself.

text: "Unfortunately, ... we've had some incidents on travel dating back to when I first started serving in the March-April timeframe," [Scott] Pruitt told the Union Leader, which is hilarious because up to that point Pruitt never willingly spoke with a union leader.

Besides that final quote being the grand champion of self-owns, publication of the interview led to more information about Pruitt's first-class habit.
