Fail-Safe 

The greatest film in history. "Fail-Safe" was a perfect production crossed with an ultimate cast. Made in 1964 it may have saved the planet. It showed what might happen if the "nuke 'em' system" fucked-up. Fail-Safe sobered its audiences. It made the world more "nuclear smart." Writers Burdick and Heller haunted the world with their view of a possibly tragic future.
You're the president of the United States. Your bombers have "blown past" their "fail-safe points" in a tragic error. As you and your translator "sweat blood," end of the world destiny unfolds right before your very eyes in "Fail-Safe."

Fail-safe 

1. Incorporating a feature to a product, when a malfunction occurs, capable of returning to a working state automatically.
2. Guaranteed to work, reliable.
"We've made it fail-safe by adding a extra NiCad battery incase the main battery fails."
"This recipe is fail-safe, anyone could do it."

safety fail 

To "safety fail" is to intentionally fail or fail to complete a major assignment or test in a given class because (according to calculations) it is impossible for the assignment to cause one's overall grade in the class to drop by a letter or have any significant changes
Sarah: Hey what are did you write about on the essay for the final in English?

Chris: Haha I didn't...I took a nap. I had over a 100% in that class so it wouldn't have changed my grade. I might as well have safety failed it.

Failsafe 

To avoid, at all cost, any situation that might remotely result in a failure on your, and your liabilities, part.
Example 1:

Stan: "Hey man, let's go to the mall, I want to get something to eat."

Sami: "Nah man, you're only hungry because you have post-high munchies. We should wait at my house before we go out anywhere. Plus, I have some Doritos at home you can munch on."

Stan: "Sweet, failsafe."

Example 2:

Sami: "Hey Charlie, can me and my girlfriend skip school at your house?"

Charlie: "Sure, but you'll have to leave before 12, my mother might come home early for lunch. Gotta be failsafe man."

Sami: "Word!"

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
