A difficult word I cannot remember
The situation:
I was playing an online game, and before the round ending, I said "gg" since I thought we will win that round. However, we lost that round, and others said a word to describe the situation. Like because I said something earlier so that incurred the defeat.
Could anyone tell me something? Thanks!

Faux pas?
Faux pas means an embarrassing or act or remark in a social situation.
It is two syllables, and it could sound like it was one word. (Sounds like foe paw)

Tempting fate?
This is what the Collins dictionary says:
Tempt fate:
If someone says that something they say or do is tempting fate or is tempting providence, they mean they are worried that it may cause the good luck they have had so far to end.
As soon as you start to talk about never having played on a losing side, it is tempting fate.
