To fail epically and try to pass it off by saying something else actually happened. Its even much more
epic when the fail happens in front of all of ones coworkers during an important event like a military relinquishment of command. It is only made much more
epic when someone happens to capture it on film. This is what we have come to know as an
Epic George Fail.
Rio: Did you see George, I think he almost passed out! Talk about an
epic fail?
Throne: I know, are you okay George? It looked like you were about to pass out!
George: What are you
talking about? I was readjusting my beret!
Rio: Whatever George, you just failed epically and I
got a picture of it happening with my camera phone.
