turbo-failed

An especially ugly and unsuccessful attempt at doing anything.

(Coined by Pitchforkmedia.com writer William Bowers in a Sept. 28, 2007 column entitled "Puritan Blister #30).

"If whatever melatonin-zombie free-form jamming they were attempting before 'PDA' was supposed to be Liars-caliber, they turbo-failed."

Fail Mix

A significantly less-healthy snack substitute for trail mix, first popularized among Seattle-area hipsters who like to hike but also prefer drinking coffee, getting stoned, and not being rained on. Most fail mix contains higher proportions of gummies, chocolate, candies, or caramel corn than would actually be beneficial for backpacking. Fail mix may occasionally lack nuts and granola all together.

Heather: "Hey hand me some of that fail mix, I've got the munchies!"
Rick: "Sorry, I already picked out most of the Swedish Fish. Were we actually gonna go hiking?"

Twig: "No it's raining... This fail mix is starting to taste like trail mix, put more gummy bears in it..."

Fail Mail

This is not a new term, but a new use for an existing one.

Fail Mail: When a user's email gets stuck in their Outbox and refuses to be sent, for any reason.

John found out why Julia had not received his invitation. There it was, stuck in his Outbox. His beautifully written, sweet, sincere invitation to the girl of his dreams had turned into fail mail.
