Five Man Failure

Five Man Failure:Small business with less than 10 people. The business is usually dysfunctional. The CEO of the company has 'observation blindness' and coddles bad employees. In a large company issue employees would have been sacked for more dynamic candidates.
That tube store employee is passive aggressive and never emailed me to tell me that my special order was cancelled two months ago. They're running a "Five Man Failure".

catastrophic raid failure

Catastrophic RAID failure means your ultra-secret data saw the attack helicopters over the horizon and locked itself in the impenetrable underground bunker and detonated landmines and deployed automated weaponry all around the base. Enemy forces were wiped out in their entirety.

The good news is that your data is secure and bravely refused to allow itself to be compromised. Bad news is that I don't think your data is ever coming out of there again.
Hello,

Unfortunately earlier today the host that your VPS resides on had suffered a catastrophic RAID failure and was irrecoverable. We had attempted to restore the data but were unsuccessful. We have since created a new container and emailed you the new login information. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Regards,

failure filth

What happens when you've lost your job...marriage...start up. Days of eating junk food, drinking alcohol, and forgetting to clean (anything).
I stopped by Phil's and he was still so broken up about losing his job he was lost in a pile of failure filth.

when, to your surprise, you are unbelievably constipated, and you fail at making a bowel movement after many long minutes on the porcelain throne.

also in geography, dump failure is used to refer to bad waste disposal

sense of humour failure

A phrase used by a manager as an awkward semi-apology after they lose their temper at their employees. This is the closest to an apology you're likely to get.

Prevalent in the UK tech and consulting sector.
(after boss has stopped shouting obscenities at their staff)
