(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so apparently, half of the users on this site don't know the definition of "fail" and think they're awesome, including some mods that I won't name.
-verb (used without object)

1. to fall short of success or achievement in something expected, attempted, desired, or approved: The experiment failed because of poor planning.

5. to lose strength or vigor; become weak: His health failed after the operation.

12. to declare (a person) unsuccessful in a test, course of study, etc.; give less than a passing grade to: The professor failed him in history.

-noun

13. Stock Exchange.
a. a stockbroker's inability to deliver or receive security within the required time after sale or purchase.
b. such an undelivered security.

14. Obsolete. failure as to performance, occurrence, etc.
—Idiom

15. without fail, with certainty; positively: I will visit you tomorrow without fail.

1. Fail
either an interjection used when one disapproves of something, or a verb meaning approximately the same thing as the slang form of suck.
1] "you actually bought that? FAIL"
2] "this movie fails."

2. fail
1. Another word for "suck", most probably derived from the world of internet gaming.

2. To not achieve
1. What do you mean you lost? YOU FAIL!

Now I see no example and or definition where it says "You are an epic fail" or "You are a fail!!"

I only made this thread because I'm tired of seeing retards using the word without even knowing what it means or how its used.
Also you may think this thread is pointless, but so are about 30% of the threads in this section. So if you want to close this, go close those as well. That is if pressing a few buttons and making someone not be able tio post in a thread makes you happy.

So in short, stop saying "fail" so damn much because you either a) don't know how it's used or b) you're mentally retarded, and you aren't afraid to tell everyone in public.
AND GET A GOD DAMN DICTIONARY. What the hell? English is my second language and I type better than half of this place.
/rant

TLAwesome faceR: Retards who don't know exactly how to use that word, don't use it.

also <insert obligatory smartass "fail" comment by smartass mod followed by him infracting me for no reason and closing the thread for no reason.>

I agree with opec. I see everywhere the word "fail" or "epic fail" it is annoying to see it. I see people using it when it doesn't even make sense but yet people continue to use it, perhaps, because they think its a cool word, even though its not. I think people should stop using it out of context.
