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.

Failed Fledgling

Adult children that briefly left home that couldn't make it in the real world and moved back into their parents home (nest)

Did you hear that the Cadman boy moved back home after he couldn't get a job after eight years of college getting a doctorate in Theater Arts? I feel sorry for them about their failed fledgling.

fail-fro

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.

Failed^2

When a person failure is so far beyond the limitations of the word fail.

Person A: I just met a guy at a bar who told me he loved me, I was so happy that I slept with him.

Person B: Really? You have Failed^2 in life.

soft fail

Not quite passing, not quite failing. Enough to leave you wanting more, if any.

Ty recognized his attempt was a soft fail and wondered if there was a pill that could help him.

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."

urdic fail

After reading some words and their definitions on Urban Dictionary, you start to realize a lot of things on the site are bullshit and should have never made it onto the site. This is known as an urdic fail.

Yo, did you read the words of the day on Urban Dictionary today?

Yeah, pretty lame shit. All urdic fails.
