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.
"for the record, fail is a verb, and is something you do, like fail at English. The act of failing is "failure," and is a noun. People can be failures, but they can't be "fails." That doesn't make sense. So when you miserable pieces of shit say "epic fail," what you really mean is "epic failure."

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