What is sinking ship?

It is a phrase commonly used when a person holds negative or confidential information about you and ends up blurting it out to people who really don't need to know.
This can take place during big surprises and important events in life such as meeting with a potential employer or even in an attempt of scoring a first date with a gorgeous male/female.
This can cause extreme awkwardness and possibly even fatal depending on the circumstances but by stating this phrase you can state the fact that the person who opened his mouth shouldn't have said anything, even though the damage has already been delt.

Unemployed Man: "Hello there, I would like to sechedule an interview with you for a potential opportunity for employment at this business."
U.M.'s Friend (on phone in background): "Yo man, we'll bring you that dime sack of weed as soon as he gets done talkin' to this googly lookin' lady about some stupid job to support his family."
Unemployed Man: "You're sinking the ship bro."
------------
Potential Female: "Aww thanks David for this beautiful ring! I bet it costed a fortune!"
Charlie (standing next to David): "Thank God for clearance bins at Wal-Mart."
David: "Charlie, You're sinking the ship, man."
Charlie: "Dohhh! Crap!"

What does "sinking ship" mean?

A propaganda phrase coined by the Insurgency Sisterhood, a guerilla outfit that promotes women's empowerment while supporting favorable relations between the sexes. Derived from the concept of overthrowing misogynistic men who abuse their positions of power within organizational structures by identifying actions that compromise their integrity, and then using this information against them in the form of blackmail.

"Hey man, you'd better stop flipping favors to your good ole boys like that. Didn't you hear what happened to the last boss who screwed a lady out of something she deserved? Small Dicks Sink Ships."

"I know you really hate the idea of giving that promotion to Jane, but she outperforms everyone man. You'd better go ahead and play fair, and keep mum - she's not so dumb. Small Dicks Sink Ships.

Sinking ship - slang

Band-term. After one band member decided to quit the band, all the other members already know that it's over but they decide to put up an add for a replacement anyway "just to see where we can take this anyway". After the new recruit joins this band with the enthousiasm of a young pup and probably got himself new "gear" just for this occasion, a month in or so after some half-assed rehearsals the whole band decides to call it quits.

"I got a new bass, a new amp, quit my job so I could make it to all the rehearsals, wrote five songs, and then they decide to quit!"

"Sounds like you we're boarding a sinking ship!"

Sinking ship

When you're depressed, and you mention it to friends, sinking ship syndrome happens when they sort of start avoiding you, quit calling etc. Cuz even rats get off a sinking ship.

I confided in Sally when I told her I was really depressed, now suddenly she's not calling me anymore, doesn't want to hang out. It's the old sinking ship syndrome again.....

Sinking ship

An English post-punk band, formed in 1979 and active from then until 1981. Their members were: Simon Brighton (guitarist)
Terry Welbourn (bassist)
Colin Hopkirk (vocalist)
Nick Green (drummer)
They are sometimes attributed to being the writers of The Most Mysterious Song on The Internet, due to two of their most famous songs (The Cinema Clock and Strangers) sounding similar, although this has been mostly debunked. Their songs are actually pretty good, I would recommend checking them out.

Person 1: Hey, what would you say is your favourite band?
Person 2: I'd have to say The Sinking Ships.

Person 1: Who?

Person 2: Criminally underrated group.
