What you call Apple's Face ID feature when it fails to unlock your Apple phone using face recognition.
iPhone owner: "Bro, my iPhone won't unlock, facial recognition isn't working all of a sudden."
iPhone critic: "Fail ID! So much for artificial intelligence and all that stuff."

Similar to a regular fail, a cool-fail is when someone attempts to do something they do at a regular time to show off (Eg keeps missing 3 point shots in a basketball game even though they play basketball) but continuosly fails.
"Wow, he's taller than evryone here, he could have scored at least 10 points without trying to score 3 pointers to show off. He missed all of them. Cool-fail.
