An overly exaggerated frown made in response to anything particularly stupid seen anywhere, be it an action, a behavior, the weather, some music, etc.
Anybody employing a fail frown must be aware that they must, to the best of their abilities, follow the guiding scientific principle principle-every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

This actually happened to me, so please, read it in order to contextualize this compound word. In essence, it was a message about corporate buzzwords and euphemisms I had sent to a friend.
-I talked to a woman this morning who is the owner of a cafe. She told me she used to be a paraprofessional, which is basically a glorified teacher´s assistant. She likened the euphemism to a custodian being named a "custodial manager." We both made a "fail frown" after she had finished explaining it to me.

Get the fail frown mug.The Fail Zone is the seemingly magical one-in-a-million glitch that brings you to a part of the level that is not supposed to exist or simply was not noticed by the programmers. Fail Zones exist primarily in skate/snowboard genre games but in rare cases have showed up in adventure/RPG/fighting games. You can identify a Fail Zone by A)Constant falling of your character in a boundary-less black/white location B)Free roaming of your character in a small confined black/white box. To fix a Fail Zone you must restart your level or in extreme cases restart your system.
Noobish gamer:"Dude I was like playing Tony Hawks pro-skater 3 and I bailed from a grind and then I like went through the floor and just kept falling!!! What do I do????"
Me:"Well, my noobish fool, you have entered what we call a Fail Zone the only solution for it is to restart your level or your game entirely. But since that might be too difficult for you to understand, I suggest you pick up your console and trow it straight up in the then stand right under the impact location.

Get the Failbait mug.The term FAIL was coined by the cupo clan from the original counter-strike and quake 3 arena gaming era. It did not come from no Blazing Star game. "You fail it" and "FAIL", have absolutely no correlation, and FAIL was not derived from Blazing Star. However, the inspiration for the usage of FAIL throughout the quake community and the Half-life 1 community stemmed from the original Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 in the "Break the target" challenge mode where if you fall off the map before breaking all the targets, the screen reads "FAIL" and you pretty much feel shit out of luck. No credit was given to the cupo clan due to their involvement in "Video game griefing" since the early Quake 1 days on Mplayer.
Some evidence that might help prove this fact is that anyone who dare contest the origin of this term PROBABLY played either Quake III Arena or Counter-strike for Half-life 1.
Epic fail is just a spin-off of FAIL that was created by some WoW players.
The term ''tryhard'' also originated in the Quake III Arena and Counter-strike communities. (which makes sense)
