Get the failed to breathe in Donald Trump's home runmug. A phrase used in call of duty, throughout the modern warfare franchises. It is said when you fail a round or match.
Jim: JOEY YOU CUCK DON'T LET HIM DEFUSE.

Get the mission failed we'll get em next timemug. AFTER thoroughly reading the instruction manual, of course, to see if that might help you to get it to work properly without resorting to such drastic measures :D
Seasoned mechanic, talking to an elderly long-retired grease-monkey buddy on the phone: I have a '58 Ford 350 two-ton flatbed here with a frozen rear brake-drum --- I've tried WD-40, I've tried penetrating-oil, I've banged on it with a two-pound sledge, and then even a five-pound sledge, but it still refuses to budge... any ideas?
Aged grease-monkey: Yes, indeed, Son --- get an eight-pounder and really have at it.
Seasoned mechanic, in plaintive shock: But... but... I'll BREAK it if I do THAT!
Aged grease-monkey, confidently: No, you won't --- trust me --- those beefy old solid-iron brakes are made extra-tough, specifically to safely withstand the extra force of being overhauled like this. Just get up your nerve and really clobber on it!
Mechanic, hesitantly: Okaayyy... if you say so... hold the line... gets a huge sledge hammer and reluctantly but resolutely bashes the ancient brake drum, then steps back in wide-eyed surprise when the ponderous hammer just harmlessly bounces off; emboldened, he rears back and really takes a mighty swing at the drum again, knocking the drum loose and sending it flying halfway across the shop. He picks it up and is flabbergasted to see that it is still fully intact, and with only a very minor surface-scuffing. So he lifts the phone again in pleased bewilderment Wow --- you were right... it came off with just two whacks, and I didn't damage it at all!
Aged mechanic: See? Tolja it would be okay... when all else fails, get a bigger hammer!
Aged grease-monkey: Yes, indeed, Son --- get an eight-pounder and really have at it.
Seasoned mechanic, in plaintive shock: But... but... I'll BREAK it if I do THAT!
Aged grease-monkey, confidently: No, you won't --- trust me --- those beefy old solid-iron brakes are made extra-tough, specifically to safely withstand the extra force of being overhauled like this. Just get up your nerve and really clobber on it!

Get the When all else fails, get a bigger hammermug. When you pass out in a public place after drinking too much. The reason that it is "failed" is because a sucessful Irish Goodbye involves leaving the scene BEFORE you pass out.
Dude I wish I would have got a picture of your Failed-Irish Goodbye last night when you were passed out at the diner

Get the Failed-Irish Goodbyemug. Derived from online videos charting the 'Fails of the Century', Century Fail is used when a fail is just too spectacular for one year to contain it.
Today I went for ice cream with a friend of the opposite sex. My girlfriend was texting me, asking me where I was. To pacify her, I told her I was desperately trying to get away from some girl who won't stop talking - But I accidentally sent the text to said girl, as she sat next to me. She started to cry into her ice cream. Century Fail.
