Ever since the the creation of the Universe, to the times of Jesus Christ, and even in modern times, there have always been fails. For example, you.

Many people whom have recently discovered the intarwebz find this meme, EXTREMELY lolworthy and so they enjoy sharing it with their friends by screeching "FAIL, LOLOLOLOL OMG DIZ IS FUNNY ROFL", whenever they mess up, even slightly with any of life's given problems. These people, of course are retards and should be avoided at all costs.

 
 
Of all the mutilations of the English language that have surfaced on the Internet, the abuse of the word "fail" would surely count as one of the very worst. The word "fail" was originally a verb, so grammatically correct use would be "I am worried that I am going to fail the test." However, its usage has changed over the years, as internet users of various web forums began using it as a noun, referring to something as being "full of fail," as an adjective, such as saying, "This is fail," or even as a general exclamation of disgust by saying quite simply, "FAIL."
 

 

—-Some douchebag providing an example of fail

The meme (YOU FAIL IT) originates from the arcade game Blazing Star. Of all the game's obvious draws — among them fast-paced action, disco music, and animu-style cut scenes — its staying power comes from its wonderfully terrible Japanese-to-English translations. If you beat a level, the screen flashes with the words: "You beat it! Your skill is great!" If you lose, you are mocked: "You fail it! Your skill is not enough! See you next time! Bye bye!"
