(N) A situation in which multiple levels of the chain of authority recurringly issue conflicting instructions or directives for appropriate action and punish any the inevitable resulting violations. Whichever side of the subordinate lands on, he will get the crap knocked out of him by someone.
This job is total fail pong. I go to the boss and tell him the solution is Y. The boss orders me to do X. I then get an email from the boss's boss asking why the fuck I did X instead of Y, and then I get bitched out by the client. No matter which way you go, you're screwed.

Senses Fail are awesome!! They are the best screamo band out there. The lyrics are depressing and a bit stupid about killing etc, so you could call them emo but the actual music isn't pop-punk its is kool as!! Senses Fail (btw if you like senses fail check out behind crimson eyes the awesome screamo aussie band)
Awesome senses fail songs:
Free falling without a parachute, the irony of dying on your birthday, one eight seven, cute when you scream, dreaming a reality...

a good emo/screemo band from the east coast. I saw they play in europe and they kicked ass. Seriously underrated, listen to them instead of Simple plan.
if you don't like Senses Fail, you're a penis battler

This timeless quote by Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett is inspiring and simply means to learn from ones missteps, learn our lessons and get going again. 'The most important thing is to strive to move forward continually. Some days we make great progress in some areas; other days we seem to slide a bit. If we were to chart our progress on a board, it has ups and downs, but overall it should move upward as we live and learn from our mistakes and failures. This is the heart of Failing Up.' Source: The Single Greatest Secret of Leadership: 'Fail Up', from an article in Forbes Magazine
"Ever tried. Ever failed.
No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." ~ Samuel Beckett
New mantra: Fail fast
Every day that we wake up, we get another chance to get it right, to bounce back from failures big and small - to fail up.

Asian kid #1: Ah crap, I failed.
Asian Kid #2: Fail or Asian fail?
Asian kid #1: B+, Asian fail.

anything that seems to make you fail after wards.
"dude i just ate some fail candy and i keep getting pwnd."
A fail that, when examined extremely closely, fails in a very different and surprising way to the one expected.
Reflects the strange behaviour of subatomic particles when observed.
The contract seemed reasonable, but when I examined the small print I realised it was a QUANTUM FAIL.
