"I tried google+. fails with privacy/security/bigbrother concerns, getting so far into my social life to know more about me than just searches, they admit they report it to govs. fails in having to use 1 of the 4 big name browsers. fails with useragent change. even with right browwser, fails with another dozen annoyances in it's interface, each a deal-breaker, i decided i'd made too many allowances, time to declaire googleplus epic chain-fail, being so widespread, likely to spread further as users get locked in (to it AND browsers), wanting to talk to their friends on it."

mojo fail

a failure that, while possibly excusable, creates such a bad energy or reputation that the entity in question must take the blame anyway, often severely
Even though it came out later that Cody Parkey's infamous "double-doink" field-goal miss had in fact been tipped, the whole thing was such a mojo fail that the Bears released him and no other team wanted to touch him.

"I know it's not your fault, but it's still your fault. It was a total mojo fail."

Poop Bag Fail

A "Poop Bag Fail" refers to a situation where a dog poop bag tears or rips, resulting in the dog owner inadvertently coming into contact with their dog's waste on their hands and fingernails. Some of the newer dog bags are constructed from compostable materials that are thinner, lacking the sturdiness and durability typically associated with traditional poop bags.
The dog owner experienced another Poop Bag Fail after sensing a warmth and moisture through the poop bag, only to discover a significant tear in the bag.
