Well, "hubris" is the Greek theatre word for the dramatic arrogance in a character which the audience just know will inevitably result in his own ruin as the play proceeds.
And "Et Tu Brute" was supposedly Caesar saying "Even you, Brutus?" as he was stabbed by those he thought were his most loyal friends.
So "Et Tu Hubris" is what a character might say as he realised that his own pride or over-confidence had finally turned events around, in that Greek way, and was about to bring him to complete disaster or death.

The famous line from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" has already been referred to. "hubis/hybris" by the way, is not Latin, but Greek; in Latin it would probably be translated as "superbia".
