Fail Watching

“Fail watching,” unlike its brother only in rhyme whale watching, would be much more entertaining because you see someone fail much more often then you’d witness a whale leaping out from the sea in front of your ship.
It would be similar to people watching (which often leads to the act of Fail watching at some point) except one would only be waiting for someone else to mess up.
Failures noted while “Fail watching” should be subtle, not America’s Funniest Home Videos quality. None of this people falling down or getting hit crap because “Fail watching” frowns upon physical injury.
“Fail watchers” are let loose to make assumptions based on little to no evidence, creating characters out of the people around them in order to develop a more lasting “Fail watching story.”
As I sat in coldstone the other day, I couldn't help but make a mental note of the "Fail watching story" I would get from the easter bunny who forgot to hide her sneakers

fail frown

An overly exaggerated frown made in response to anything particularly stupid seen anywhere, be it an action, a behavior, the weather, some music, etc.

Anybody employing a fail frown must be aware that they must, to the best of their abilities, follow the guiding scientific principle principle-every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
This actually happened to me, so please, read it in order to contextualize this compound word. In essence, it was a message about corporate buzzwords and euphemisms I had sent to a friend.

-I talked to a woman this morning who is the owner of a cafe. She told me she used to be a paraprofessional, which is basically a glorified teacher´s assistant. She likened the euphemism to a custodian being named a "custodial manager." We both made a "fail frown" after she had finished explaining it to me.

Fail Zone

The Fail Zone is the seemingly magical one-in-a-million glitch that brings you to a part of the level that is not supposed to exist or simply was not noticed by the programmers. Fail Zones exist primarily in skate/snowboard genre games but in rare cases have showed up in adventure/RPG/fighting games. You can identify a Fail Zone by A)Constant falling of your character in a boundary-less black/white location B)Free roaming of your character in a small confined black/white box. To fix a Fail Zone you must restart your level or in extreme cases restart your system.
Noobish gamer:"Dude I was like playing Tony Hawks pro-skater 3 and I bailed from a grind and then I like went through the floor and just kept falling!!! What do I do????"
Me:"Well, my noobish fool, you have entered what we call a Fail Zone the only solution for it is to restart your level or your game entirely. But since that might be too difficult for you to understand, I suggest you pick up your console and trow it straight up in the then stand right under the impact location.
