This thread isnt about really bad fails. I have had this on my mind for a while and im asking everyone this and i decided to ask you guys too. So is failing at failing a win or is it worse than a fail? Most people i have talked to are half and half about it. ill try and be active (no promises) to see what you guys say. thanks if you decide to answer

It's basically a fail and a win at the same time. But it does depend on the situation, intentions, and results as people have said in this thread.

I tried failing at failing once, I failed.

It means that you suck so bad at something you can't even fail at it properly. Your just so bad that you do worse than fail (ergo you are failing at failing)

win cause you would be failing to fail so you would cancel out the first fail therefore win

Failing at failing is NOT a double negative. It is a failure to complete a failure, not a successful completion of a success. A failure to complete a failure is what? Yep. A failure. Let me quote a legitimate information agency here and supply you all with the tools to understand internet lingo:

1. Fail at Failing

To fail at failing is to fail so horribly that you are the king of all things fail. This is not a double-negative, you just suck! It is also consideref 386 times more fail than an Epic Fail.

e.g.
Jim: Dude I totally just crashed my car onto my roof!

Gary: Wow man you fail at failing!

All of nothing is still nothing

Anyway, I couldn't find an entry in Mirriam-Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary on failing at failing so I had to go with the Urban Dictionary's entry...

Oh, you simpletons...The mix of such irony and fail creates a rip in the space time continuum due to how impossibly possible such a feat is. Lucky for us, this is a very hard fail to do.

If you try to make a fail picture you must fail correct.

So say you said you were going to take a picture of you jumping off a house belly first into a pool and you jump and completely miss the pool and break your arm you just failed at failing.

If fail is negative and win is positive, let f = fail, and w = win.

Failing at failing, or failsquared can be represented by this, when f = -1 and w = 1.

= F(sq) = F(F)
= F(F) = -1(-1)
= -1(-1) = 1
= W = 1

Therefore, F(sq) = W, and Failing at Failing is indeed a win.

MrPockets believes that math cannot be used in this situation
MrPockets also believes that failing at failing is the equivalent of F+F

Wouldn't that just be failing twice, or 2f?
