The "Fail." Most people see this term superimposed over pictures in chain e-mails or on humor websites. It's kind of like a title that you give to a happening, it's not a verb, it is a noun. It is always capitalized and always is followed by a period. As I would define it: One consciously tries to do something and fucks it up so completely that their action makes them look like a mental defective and/or are injured, physically or mentally, in the process. It is usually a quick event but it can be a drawn out event, the whole point is that it has to be a major fuck up because the term Fail. is always capitalized. But enough with the semantics because I actually like the term BUT it has become a bit of a trend and, like all trends, it is being overused and misused. Since its inception, probably by some uncredited computer gaming nerd who gets pissed every time he hears it now, the term is steadily gaining steam. So now people use it not just by superimposing it over pictures but by saying it out loud. So if you see a bird fly smack into a closed window, you can smile and say "Fail." The bird hasn't failed but what happened was a Fail.
I think that the term Fail. is overextended, and people don't know how to use it. I'm writing this because I heard is grossly misused the other day. One kid was trying to put a dollar bill into a vending machine and the machine wouldn't take it because the bill had a bent corner or something. And his buddy says, "Oh! FAIL.! FAIL.! Failure!" First off, never use it more than once or the effect is gone, and never couple it with a different tense. But in this case it isn't a Fail. That's like a computer malfunction, it wasn't the kid's fault. So, I looked at the buddy and pointed at him and then I said, "Fail." And then I took off because they were about 12 years old and I might have scared them or some lady might have thought i was like, "Feel?". But hopefully he took away a valuable lesson. So it was because of this that I figured I'd just try to begin and clear this issue up right here on sonoffuzzy.blogspot.com.
So, since humans are visual learners, here are some prime examples:
The quick Fail.:
Clearly this professional baseball player was trying to catch the ball with his mitt not with his mug. Fail.
A drawn out Fail.:
You know the guards that are supposed to stand at perfect attention? That guy was trying to do that. Fail.
Then there is the almighty Nationally Televised Fail. This is the worst because every sees it:
And that last Fail. brings me to a question of my own. If nobody sees it, is it a Fail.? If a tree in the middle of the forest falls on the guy who just cut it down and there's no one around to say "Fail." Is it so? There are probably some great Fail.s that will never be known because no one was there to see it. Like, what if you drop your cell phone into the toilet while trying to take a picture of the massive shit you just shat in order to send it to your friend. Epic Fail.
