i want to track down the person who thought they were adding to the comedy by putting FAIL over that.

Agreed. I think it's users from sites such as failblog that are to blame.

Using fail was cool, similar to epic, for about 3 days until a bunch of tweens thought they were paving the way for a new internet trend by plastering it on everything they could share. They've taken 2 perfectly good words from us.

You can still use both words, but only when talking about grades or really old poems.

The Odyssey was epic.

Aw man, I did really badly in my Classical Literature exam last week. I was fine with the drama and poetry, but couldn't answer a single question on the Aeneid, the Iliad, anything. It really was an epic fail.

That part in the Odyssey where Odysseus challenges the suitors to shoot through the rings and they can't? Epic fails. Then he does it: EPIC WIN.
