Failure to plan is planning to fail!

The most clever comeback a teacher will ever make. It will be used against you if you forgot to do something.
Mr Broadhead: Where is your commerce book?
Yasmin: I forgot to pack it this morning.

Al Gore Failure Beard

An Al Gore failure beard is the cloak of shame worn by men who have been unemployed for over 90 days and don't have any job leads. I also used it for hopeless people and institutions.
"My dad's job search isn't going well. He is rocking an Al Gore failure beard."

"My buddy got laid off last year, and spends a lot of time on LinkedIn. He'll have to shave his Al Gore failure beard when he finally gets an interview."

"My flight was canceled last night, even though we only had an inch of snow. American Airlines is the Al Gore failure beard of the airline industry."

Single Point of Failure (SPOF)

The term used in an organization that is commonplace for no apparent reason to explain why leadership only designates ONE person in the whole organization to be the Point of Contact to be able to fix something that is broken. When this is person or entity isn't available the whole organization - or the specific people affected by the problem are at the mercy of this person returning to work to solve the problem. Single Point of Failure or SPOF is commonly used with another term known as FUBAR - (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition) because no professional organization would allow a Single Point of Failure to exist.
I'm sorry but we can't fix your computer today because we have a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) in that department. Pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain - he can't fix your computer - the only person who can do that isn't here today. You might want to try and click your heels together and say three times - "there's no place like home - there's no place like home - because if you were at home your internet service provider has an entire staff that is interchangeable and capable of completing most any IT-related task.

Failure

I wrote a poem to show how much of a failure Steven He is

Steven He
Dare I say he has no we
His dad is stronger than a tree
Some people say Steven is more useless than a bee

Some say he is more sour than a lime
We say we don't have the time
To make poems that even rhyme
I ask if he will ever have a prime

Steven's dad has walked many miles
He's gone through many trials
In his day the lions would be in shambles
To get anywhere he would travel dimensions there was no need for lambos

Yet here Steven is a failure

Spring lock Failure

A Springlock Failure is the event in which a Springlock Suit's spring loaded devices keeping the animatronic as a suit snaps shut, resetting it back into an animatronic with a wearer inside, typically crushing the wearer to death. Springlock Failures are often caused by moisture, heavy breathing, or failure to correctly set up the springlocks.
"And if you trigger those spring locks, two things will happen: first the locks themselves will snap right into you, making deep cuts all over your body, and a split second later, all the animatronic parts, all that sharp steel and hard plastic will instantly be driven into your body. You will die, but it will be slow. You’ll feel your organs punctured, the suit will grow wet with your blood, and you will know you’re dying for long, long minutes. You’ll try to scream, but you will be unable to: your vocal cords will be severed, and your lungs will fill with your own blood until you drown in it." -William Afton describing a Spring lock Failure, The Silver Eyes
