Failo 

A term describing the Xbox games Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Both Halo 2 and Halo 3 were over-hyped bull plop of games which were bundled with the Xbox 360 console as well as through conventional video game retailers.

Part of the overhype was due to the success of the first Halo game in the series (Halo Combat Evolved) which made the successive games appear to be shallow copies brought out to milk the franchise by Bungie and Microsoft.

Guy: Your playing Halo 3 again?

Gamer: Yes, it's the best game on the planet!

Guy: More like it should of been named failo!

Failo Effect 

First coined by Invisible/FACEandLMS/MyFemaleEquivalentDoesntHaveToWork on PUAHate.

THE LOOKS SCALE

0 ----------- 3 ----------- 5 ----------- 7 -------------10 (less......>>>........... more attractivness)
FAILO EFFECT.........................................HALO EFFECT

The Halo effect is well known. We associate beautiful (tall, slim, good face, youthful hair, healthy youthful skin, etc) people with good qualities, such as confidence, fitness, charisma, less likely to commit crimes, more giving, better parents, more skillful, etc. We are more likely to remember a beautiful face. And when we do, we will be more likely to remember positive things about it.

We tend not to associate any qualities (as strongly) with average looking people - as most people are average looking. Looks are on a bell curve: very few people are really ugly, very few are really attractive - most hover around "average". We tend to be more neutral towards average looking people. We find them forgettable.

However, in contrast to the Halo effect, I coined the term "the FAILO effect". If you see an ugly man, who's short, balding, wrinkled skin, fat, and wearing thick glasses, you associate his ugly looks with negative qualities such as low self esteem, unfitness, no charisma, more likely to be a criminal, etc. You are more likely to remember the ugliest person you've ever seen than an average looking person. And along with that, you will most likely remember negative things about that person.

Brad Pitt walks up to a slim, young, beautiful woman and asks her out on a date:
Her: "Omigod, yes. What are you doing now? Wanna go somewhere?"
Him: "I be halo-effecting women on the daily, yo".

Danny DeVito walks up to a slim, young, beautiful woman and asks her out on a date:
Her: "Eew, creepy. Go away, you bald manlet".

Him: "I just can't get away from that Failo Effect."

Fabloo 

Wonky, jumbled. A word made up by Tally Hall to describe their albums which don’t stick to one genre, instead mixing multiple. Weird and irregular.

Rob: “We used to call ourselves a wonky rock band, but then I think people started to characterize exactly what wonkiness was and we didn’t want that to happen.”
Zubin: “We made up another word, Fabloo.”
Rob: “we’re a fabloo rock band now.”

Giga Fail 

A fail that is so extreme, that it tests the very fabric of nature, religious beliefs, technological advancements, and the origins of life as we know it. The 11th commandment should have been "Thou Shall Not Take Part in Giga Fails." This is how extreme a Giga Fail is.

"That fugly chick who bought me this poster is a Giga Fail."

"The fact that you were born is a Giga Fail in itself."

"Your skills at cooking bacon is a Giga Fail."

too big to fail 

Excuse given by those supporting the wealthy establishment for why millions in taxpayer dollars should be given to large corporations to prevent them from defaulting.

Fake News made sure to drive the point home every few minutes that $10 billion needed to be given to Goldman Sachs because it is too big to fail (that is, so that their investors wouldn't take such a hard hit).
