Male Fail 

When a man or men fail to prevent bad things from happening and they absolutely could've done something about it.
Letting the #MeToo Movement fester for so long that all men are now branded predators, repeatedly voting for makeup wearing clowns, and allowing the Supreme Court to install George W. Bush without demanding a re-vote are a few great examples of Male Fails.

Definition:

The accidental act of calling someone because your phone was in your back pocket and your backside did the dialing.

A gloriously literal mistranslation of “butt dial” into German (“Hintern scheitern”) that technically means “butt fail” - which, honestly, isn’t wrong.
Example 1:
“Sorry for the 2 a.m. breathing call. Total butt fail.”

Example 2:
“I didn’t mean to FaceTime my boss from the gym locker room. Major butt fail.”

Origin:
A machine-translation masterpiece. “Butt dial” → “Hintern scheitern” → “butt fail.” Linguistically incorrect. Spiritually accurate.
