meta fail 

The failure to properly describe an act of failure. Meta-failure cannot be 'failure to fail', because this implies that the act in question is a success. Likewise, attempts to define 'meta fail' as a level of failure above 'epic fail' make a category mistake: both 'failure' and 'meta failure' are nouns to which the adjective 'epic' could be applied.
