    I’ve never heard the term “flushed the mouse”. I tried to google it but all I got are -people flushing live mice down the toilet (?) and -the movie flushed away. Can you elaborate?

      It’s basically a nicer way of saying “shit the bed.” I picked it up from the Tony Kornheiser podcast. It’s a running bit there.

        Thank you! That’s what I guessed from context but wasn’t sure if it was a regional thing.
