"FAIL" - what an absolutely stupid way to refute someone else's point!

:rant:

"Fail?" That's it? Just "fail?" Do you have anything else to add, dear chap? Is that the extent of your vocabulary? Can I grab you a Roget's and a tutor?

This internet phenomenon is, ironically, a FAILURE for the person to find the right words to communicate his or her disagreement. It's rhetorical shorthand for "I either don't believe in an exchange of ideas or am incapable of communicating my disagreement."

"Fail?" No, sir or madame, you're the one who's failing at communication.



Now I will stop my rant to provide ample time for clever people to respond to me with "FAIL!" :P

:rant:

:D

I think it's hilarious.

When someone posts something that is so utterly ridiculous, there is no better, more appropriate response.

He's the typical rightwing talking point troll, who refuses to admit he listens to Rush/Beck/FOX even as he says almost verbatim what they say. And like I said, he's so often wrong on things that it's become a fun game to find new ways to FAIL him.

:P

:crazy:

This OP is just BEGGING for it.

And yes, the toddlers who post "FAIL" are the ones who truly fail at communication. Just like the harpys who screech "GODWIN" anytime anyone even remotely mentions the Nazis

I like this one:

he says fail if someone screws up, haven't ever heard him use it the way you describe. I must agree, I would just stand there dumbfounded if someone said fail to me in that regard...it would probably spark my immediate response of 'WHAT?!?!

Dude.
Dude.
Dude.
Dude.
Dude.
Dude.
Dude.

That's the one I hate. Once in awhile...OK....but I'm noticing more and more people that can't start one sentence without that word. Reminds me of a stoned 14 year old.

Glad to oblige! }(

You and the person reporting the failure have a bit of work ahead of you. I'll send a memo for a head's up to the FRB and the FCP. First, you'll need to send off your FNT. After you have completed your FA, I expect the following from both of you: your FAR, FIAR, NCR, and TFR. All reports should include the FEA, FESL, FID, FMEA, FMECA, MCBF, MTBF, MTTF, MTTFF, SFPA, SPFA, SFPS and the future SPFP. The PF in your case appears high, so triple-check the FDI for FO, FO/FS, FS and FS, HF, SFP and SPF.

And don't forget the new covers on your TPS Report, or it's FL for the both of you!
