A fail pwn is best described by using an example. Say a friend of yours requests back-up in any video-game, and you tell them you can't play because you are too tired; this would be a friend fail. If on top of friend failing, your friend gets slaughtered in whatever game they played and lets you know the next day about it, the appropriate response from the absent friend would be, "fail pwn," since by their friend fail, the other was pwned.
Jonny: Wow, you left me to die last night on counter-strike. We got completely slaughtered. What a fail.....
Sam: Yeah, I know. It was definitely a fail pwn.

My friend regifted my DD an Easter egg sticky-taped to a dirty coffee mug, which had coffee residue and spoon marks in the base of the mug. Regift fail.

Get the regift failmug. 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.
