Turbo Fail

A "Fail" that is a bigger fail than a basic fail but not quite an "Epic Fail." A Fail that is rapidly barrelling towards Epic Fail proportion.

This drive-through is a turbo fail. The parking lot exit uses the drive through lane, and you can't see cars coming from the drive through.

Royal Fail

When Royal Mail just can't get it right and struggle to deliver your parcels on time. Sometimes they will deliver your items early such as the very next day after you post it whilst at other times they can take twice as long as the estimated delivery time and you get worried about where the parcel is. They are kind of like a rollercoaster between good and bad in a way.

Person 1: When will my parcel arrive.
Person 2: Whenever Royal Mail delivers it.
Person 1: I've waited a week.
Person 2: I know Royal Fail can be like that sometimes.

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.

deluxe fail

n. a complicated and intricate fail typically involving more than one person. It is the result of some set-up or work towards a goal which fails in the end.

Jeez. Those a-wads tried to set her up, and boy did they put a lot of effort into it - but it just ended up looking ridiculous to everybody. Deluxe fail.

safety fail

To "safety fail" is to intentionally fail or fail to complete a major assignment or test in a given class because (according to calculations) it is impossible for the assignment to cause one's overall grade in the class to drop by a letter or have any significant changes

Sarah: Hey what are did you write about on the essay for the final in English?

Chris: Haha I didn't...I took a nap. I had over a 100% in that class so it wouldn't have changed my grade. I might as well have safety failed it.

Fail Lines

1. Lines of snow that appear across a failure's driveway. This person (usually a migrant from Illinois to the fine state of Wisconsin) sucks so bad at shoveling their driveway that they create fail lines in places where the snow overflowed from either side of their shovel. Usually these lines run horizontally for the entire length of their driveway.

2. It can also be a noun describing the person previously described.

1. Man 1: Dude, you have to clean up those fail lines.
Man 2: Yea, I know. Three people already asked if I was from Chicago.

2. "That new neighbor of yours roots for the Bears? He must be such a fail lline..."
