When two events coincide in the course of attempt to correct one fail leading to a second fail in which both parties are unable to continue due to shame.
An example of a failmate would be if a group of thieves stole a car with no wheels, then the cops who came to get them hit the parked car. The double fail means that no beneficial conclusion can be reached by either party without suffering epic shaming.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
