Transitive Fail

In many ways like a chain fail, but which tends to propagate down a line like a domino effect. That is, if when A fails then B fails, and when B fails then C fails, then if A fails, C fails.

Because Adam didn't fill the car up with gas, his girlfriend, Becka couldn't get to work on time. Because Becka couldn't get to work, she could not add the sales figures to Craig's presentation. Because Craig did not have the sales figures, the client fired Craig. Craig, in turn, reported Becka's habitual tardiness to management, which got her fired. Because she was fired due to Adam's lack of forethought, she subsequently dumped him.

Since when Adam failed, Becka failed; and when Becka failed, Craig failed, Adam created a transitive fail.

garage fail

A garage fail, is a play on the words "garage sale," and is used as a declaration that a particular garage sale is so bad, often with very few items, that it is not worth stopping at.

"Do you want to stop at this garage sale?"
"NO! All they have is a couple of boxes of clothes... more like a garage fail."

urdic fail

Yo, did you read the words of the day on Urban Dictionary today?

Yeah, pretty lame shit. All urdic fails.

soft fail

Not quite passing, not quite failing. Enough to leave you wanting more, if any.

Ty recognized his attempt was a soft fail and wondered if there was a pill that could help him.

Turbo Fail

A "Fail" that is a bigger fail than a basic fail but not quite an "Epic Fail." A Fail that is rapidly barrelling towards Epic Fail proportion.

This drive-through is a turbo fail. The parking lot exit uses the drive through lane, and you can't see cars coming from the drive through.
