too big to fail

Excuse given by those supporting the wealthy establishment for why millions in taxpayer dollars should be given to large corporations to prevent them from defaulting.

Fake News made sure to drive the point home every few minutes that $10 billion needed to be given to Goldman Sachs because it is too big to fail (that is, so that their investors wouldn't take such a hard hit).

Facebook fail

1. Acting like a complete douchebag in a way only possible on Facebook. This might involve relatively innocuous things like Facebook stalking or being a Facebook whore, or it might be a little more obnoxious, like telling Friend A that you can't go out on Saturday night and then posting tons of pictures from Friend B's party the next morning.

2. The innate quality of Facebook that inspires this sort of behavior.

"Why does his ex-girlfriend keep writing cute little posts on his wall? Do you think they've still got something going on?"

"Honey, don't worry about it. It's just Facebook fail."
