miscuing
Flubbing the signal
Miscuing is making a mistake in timing, execution, or response.
In billiards or pool, it means striking the cue ball improperly so the stick slips.
In theater or broadcasting, it means giving or receiving a wrong signal: The actor kept miscuing his entrance.
More broadly, any error in reading a situation or responding appropriately: I was miscuing social signals all evening.
