failure to launch

To plan an event down to the very last detail, only to be blown up in the end by a single variable gone wrong.
Suzy: Ok, got my cell phone, keys, car, and purse. Good to go! Me and Mark are going to have so much fun!
*Ring Ring*
Hello?
Mark: Yeah, uh... I can't make it to the party. My mom broke her leg and I have to take her to the hospital. Sorry.
*Click*
Suzy: *calls her BFF*
Danielle, Mark is blowing off the party! *cry cry*
Danielle: Girl you just got a failure to launch.

failure

1. to not acomplish what you set out to do.

2. a very good, yet underrated band from the 90's. best described as space rock. a kinda melodic, distortion heavy and dreamy sounding. yet (contradictingly enugh) very down to earth. some of the most personally penatrating lyrics i have ever herd. a favorit band of Maynard James Keenan of tool, whome they opened for occasionally.
1. im not a failure for dropping out of school and buying a van and driving to calafornia to be in a band, because that was my plan all along. hey, at least im expereancing somthing. injoy your desk job, asshole.

2. "The Nurse Who Loved Me" is a song that pretty much sums be up as a person. better than anything alse, really. A perfect circle's verson feels different, but is no less personally beutifull

epic failure

A failure of such proportions that it takes an extra word at the front to fully describe the magnitude of the fail.
Person 1: "I did a backflip off my house onto my trampline and landed it. Then I jumped off the trampoline and broke my ankle"

Person 2: "Epic Failure"

hubris of failure

the over confidence in one's ability to deal with failure; rooted in having survived so many "fails", especially "epic fails", that one has the ability to head boldly into any situation, no matter how hopeless, and have the confidence that when faced with inevitable failure, they will invariably figure out how to deal with it...
She has hubris of failure and thinks that she'll figure out how to keep herself out of any real trouble. She once bragged that she'd been arrested three times and had yet to be convicted of anything.

liver failure

Is what you get if you drink the moose juice recipe that contains 1/3 RUBBING ALCOHOL. BLINDNESS IS ANOTHER LIKELY SIDE EFFECT.

Failure to Launch

When you hold your pee in for a long time and when you finally have to use the toilet, you no longer have to pee or only a little bit of urine comes out. This often happens in men's bathrooms when you wait in line for the urinal and when it's time for you to go, nothing...

Epic Failure

Despite being given a perfect opportunity for success, no matter what you do it ends in total failure. If the same opportunity was given to another person it would have resulted in success, but you only transform things into failure..on a very large scale.
(Dude 1): Man...I'm miserable.. my wife's a gym teacher, I dont have a job, everyone hates me, I've been divorced 3 times, my dog just peed on my leg....
(Dude 2): You're an Epic Failure
