n. 1. A mistake which one finds comedic
2. A mistake that one desires to make light of
3. A major screw-up
note: One does not "do" a mainfail, but "hoists" a mainfail. The word originates from the play, "A Christmas Carol" in which actors have been known to yell, "Hoist the mainfail!" when the line is actually "Hoist the mainsail!"
