Largely used online, this is a verb turned into a mass noun, as in “A
bucket of fail.” Common forms include _epic fail_, meaning a huge
overall tendency toward failure or a great example of failure, and
FAIL! as an interjection or derogation. Often an antonym of win, seen
online in forms like “Full of win!” which means, “It’s good!”
