Answer 11

using fail as slang is getting more and more popular (:



if you use it in that was, it usually means that you attempted to do something and sucked at it, usually in a funny way (at least to others its funny)



like, at lunch there are awkward pauses across the whole school and my friend tries to start them. everyone usually just goes silent for a few seconds, then starts laughing. my friend trys to start this by yelling and getting attention, then falling silent. if it does'nt work, we just say "fail".

Grody? Lol--that's been around since Moonunit Zappa's Valley Girl days! And yeppers is older than my great granddaddy. Try something modern like "groovy" or "spiffy."

Answer 13

Well they could be calling you a failure for saying whatever it was that you said. Generally it means "You've failed"



e.g. skateboarder ollies onto a rail but slips and hits his groin. fail

computer gives the blue screen of death. fail.



etc

Answer 14

Like for example: I am a very clumsy person so when someone sees me they say "Fail" Like i failed or i just embarassed myself! So ppl say "Fail" if you do something rong like failing.
