Definition:

A gloriously literal mistranslation of “butt dial” into German (“Hintern scheitern”) that technically means “butt fail” - which, honestly, isn’t wrong.

When someone suddenly displays their uber score to someone, thinking their score is higher, and discovers their score is lower.
He took out his phone at the steakhouse, shoved it in his dinner partner’s face, and said “my uber rating is higher than yours”; oops, that was an uber fail, as his rating, 4.97, was lower than his dinner partner’s rating, 4.98.
