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.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
