failol

This term is used when describing the act of laughing out loud at someone who has just "failed", or done something or said something wrong that merits laughter. The word is a combination of the word "fail" and the internet term "lol" that stands for "laughing out loud". The word is pronounced fail-oh-el. However, this word is not to be used in spoken conversation, it is only appropriate when typed out in some kind of internet message.

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."

Failosophy

An idea from a person that fails.
Everyone hates the idea, and it should be rejected immediately.
Billy: Noobs are the coolest people ever.
Bob: What the hell, no. Dude, that's seriously a failosophy...

Failblog moment

When someone makes such an embarrassingly stupid mistake that it is worthy to be on Failblog.org in picture or video form. The funny equivalent to a kodak moment.
Actual example from Failblog.org:

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - Authorities said a couple got into a fight using 'cheetos'. The Bedford County Sheriff's Department said a 40-year old man and a 44-year old woman became involved in a 'verbal altercation'. Somehow, the orange puffy snacks were used in the assault. Deputies said they were charged with domestic assault. No one was hurt. They both were posted with a bond of $2,500.

That is a perfect example of a Failblog moment.

Failometer

1. A method of measuring how badly any person, action or object failed. Ranging from 1-10 (or higher if the person failed horribly).

2. A device used to measure the caliber of a fail.
Scenario 1:
Person A: I sat on a chair and broke it.
Person B: That sucks, but it's only a 6.5 on a failometer.


Scenario 2:
Person A: The movie 300 was historically accurate!
Person B: Anyone have an industrial strength failometer? Mine exploded after reading that.
