Rolling a 20, for example, when attacking a creature of some kind results in a critical hit, which does some extra multiplier of damage like two to four times the normal amount of damage. When one rolls the highest or lowest value, they are usually special cases. If one rolls over the difficulty number, the task is a success if one rolls below, it is a failure. In Dungeons and Dragons, when checking for success at a particular task, one rolls a 20-sided die and checks the result against a value based on the difficulty of the task. Whoo wooo! All Aboard! Departing nonstop for fail land! Town mayor Epic welcomes you! Our language is indeed at the hands of the masses (in many cases, at least). I'm assuming many people type this in for Motorola/Verizon to include it in the predictive text dictionary.

My Motorola phone, when I type a text message to say "hi" or "go", now defaults to "ho". Perhaps I posted in error here, but I believe that the root of many memes is completely lost in the vastness that is the internets (misspelling intended, if you catch my drift) and so should be freely speculated upon in the way that all things internet are.
#Meme not even wrong free#
Anyone who feels like flaming: feel free to point out that you disagree, but everyone keep in mind that this is entirely from my own experiences and part of the reason why I enjoy this meme, not necessarily the root of it. If anyone agrees/disagrees with me, I would love to hear their opinion. I doubt either of these are it, but in speculation alone it provides possibilities.

Or perhaps he did it on his own: "Abort, Retry, Epic Fail".

It might have been a response to a forum question: "'Abort, Retry or Fail? Which should I pick?' 'Epic Fail'". I believe that a programmer somewhere who found the "Abort, Retry, Fail?" prompt amusing coined this meme. I find putting the two together hilarious. An epic often describes something that is beyond normal human achievement, making it a good adjective for the situation from an objective standpoint. Fail is when no matter what you do, you are simply not going to go any further than what you've already achieved (as in a dog attempting to catch a frisbee inadvertently slamming into a tree ).įor the "epic" part of this question: an epic can be meant to describe "surpassing the usual or ordinary". I can tell you what Fail means to me, though it might not be the origin of this meme. So what in the world is Fail? As far as I (an end-user) could tell, it was the same as "give up because you're never going to see anything but this prompt". I had three options: two were obvious, to either give up (abort) or try again (retry). In my personal experience with this error message, it meant that no matter what I did I was screwed. According to Wikipedia, this spawned a meme of a sort only known by programmers and the like. I grew up when DOS was just on its way out the door, but I saw my fair share of "Abort, Retry, Fail?" messages when I couldn't read from a disk. I believe that the word "fail" to describe an instance of true failure by someone/something may have originated with a standard DOS prompt response, in DOS's later years in life. Keep in mind that I may be entirely wrong, and this is only speculation into what may have happened. To preface this answer, it is based on personal experience and research I have done regarding the subject. If you want to be in the business of distributing code, learn the language, and make sure you're distributing something that works. It's better to provide nothing at all than to waste your client's time working with an unreadable mess of garbage that leads them nowhere.
#Meme not even wrong code#
Lesson Learned: DON'T provide untested client code that doesn't even come close to working. Worst of all, the way the error handling was set up, it kicked me out of irb every time a call failed (which was every time, because the code was FUBARed). Once I did manage to get it running in a console, it was pretty obvious that nothing worked.

#Meme not even wrong how to#
Out of the box, it's not even clear how to test it in a console. Is it a rails plugin? There's no init.rb. Boy, was I wrong.įAIL: The library doesn't work, isn't tested, and is impressively unreadable. I thought: no problem, even if the implementation isn't complete, at least this is something I can work with - a starting point. On their libraries page, they list an "unfinished" ruby library.
