Transitive Fail

In many ways like a chain fail, but which tends to propagate down a line like a domino effect. That is, if when A fails then B fails, and when B fails then C fails, then if A fails, C fails.
Because Adam didn't fill the car up with gas, his girlfriend, Becka couldn't get to work on time. Because Becka couldn't get to work, she could not add the sales figures to Craig's presentation. Because Craig did not have the sales figures, the client fired Craig. Craig, in turn, reported Becka's habitual tardiness to management, which got her fired. Because she was fired due to Adam's lack of forethought, she subsequently dumped him.

Since when Adam failed, Becka failed; and when Becka failed, Craig failed, Adam created a transitive fail.

Curly hair on a bad day. Frizzy, all over the place, heat conductor.
I did my hair but once I got to the park, I was already sporting the fail-fro.

garage fail

A garage fail, is a play on the words "garage sale," and is used as a declaration that a particular garage sale is so bad, often with very few items, that it is not worth stopping at.
"Do you want to stop at this garage sale?"
"NO! All they have is a couple of boxes of clothes... more like a garage fail."

fail bin

A fail bin is where features of an item do not make it to the final product. In modding forums it is where failed mods or games are seperated from the others.
*Mod Developer fails to make something decent*
User: This is crap, Im reporting it to a Moderator
Moderator: Another useless mod? Off to the fail bin!
