butt fail

When your phone or device does random things that you didn't expect to the extend that could get akward. A true butt-dial but beyond the telephone.
As I had my phone in the shower a sundden drop of water launched Instagram and initiated a video call by mistake as I quickly attempted to hang up with soaked fingers... What a Butt fail!

Butt Fail

Definition:

The accidental act of calling someone because your phone was in your back pocket and your backside did the dialing.

A gloriously literal mistranslation of “butt dial” into German (“Hintern scheitern”) that technically means “butt fail” - which, honestly, isn’t wrong.
Example 1:
“Sorry for the 2 a.m. breathing call. Total butt fail.”

Example 2:
“I didn’t mean to FaceTime my boss from the gym locker room. Major butt fail.”

Origin:
A machine-translation masterpiece. “Butt dial” → “Hintern scheitern” → “butt fail.” Linguistically incorrect. Spiritually accurate.
