  Another frequently utilized term is Fail. Fail is used to describe someone who messed up what they had been at first trying to do. For instance, a man who tries to dive in to the lake, but ends up belly flopping in to the shallow end would be considered a fail. Most would also LOL at this moment as well. Another example of a fail would be a man who tries to use his slip and slide off a jump into a pool. Rather than going into the pool, he flops onto the grass and misses the pool entirely.
