The image of a whale being carried by a number of birds that appears when the Twitter website is overloaded or has failed. Failwhale appears to now have his/her own fanclub.
Word origin: from fail + whale (probably for rhyming purposes).

Sad that Twitter had failed just when he needed it most, he was somewhat consoled by the appearance of his beloved Failwhale.

A annoying blue whale that turns up on the homescreen when popular social networking site Twitter goes overcapacity.
It is depicted as being carried by a flock of blue birds (the Twitter "mascots") to show that the load taken by the microblogging site is to huge to be processed.
In my opinion, it's plain irritating.

An ignorant obese person who does not know his/her place in life. It often shows by being the loudest, most obnoxious person in the room, as an attempt to make up for his/her obesity.

Guy 2: "Well he does have his own gravitation point"
Guy 1: "lol - He just wont recognise his place in life. He's such a failwhale"
Guy 2: "Amen"
