When the Internet was invented back in 1654 it was agreed that over time Internet speak shall take precedence over common sense language.

Seems we are practically there!

Even Pink was saying "Epic Fail" on Radio 1 the other week in her interview. I think it must be some American slag.

FAIL.... Don't really know where it came from - seems to be a continuation, or evolution of "owned" (or pwned/pwn3d) which used to cover pics like the above.... Now "fail" seems to be the "in" word....

Still fucking funny when used in context with pics like the ones above tho
