When someone tries, but does not succeed. An obvious mistake they made whilst trying to look good.

You fail for looking up 'fail' in UD.
You = fail.

Word that is being consistently overused by assholes all around you so they can fit in and sound cool. Used to describe a minor disappointment in life, such as having a typo, tripping on your shoelace, or dialing the wrong number.

For other annoying overused words used by trendy douche bags, see Epic
Asshole 1: ZOMG d00d my phone fell in a bowl of cereal this morning

Asshole 2: Fail
Asshole 1: Lol I know

A word used by teenagers, or by your fellow teenage friends who cannot, for the life of them, use a word that actually makes them sound smarter then a second grader. Also a slang term for sucking. If you ever give someone a chance to say the word fail to you, kill yourself. Or redeem yourself by giving them a good shot to the nose.
You: DAMMIT! I just can't seem to get this guitar riff right!

Friend who plays Guitar Hero, and expects that since he can play the same song your trying to learn on expert, meaning he has no life, you should be able to too: FAIL!

You: *Kills Self* OR *Punches friend in the nose*


Other acts to ensure they never utter such horrible slang ever again also acceptable

*Only excusable use of this word is when an "emo" starts talking about MCR... or any form of emo music. Also acceptable when describing rap*

The current generations lazy way to say failure.
Just ask these kids parents the meaning of the word.
"Waa waa my xbox fail"

"Waa-waa my ipod fail"

"What do I want to with my life?...FAIL"
