An article on Slate asks, "When did fail become a noun?" It then talks about the emergence of fail in modern culture, along with epic fail. Then the author attributes it to the proliferation of Engrish (bad translations from Japanese).
It's from D&D. I've been saying fail and crit fail (critical) since third edition, and from critical, the next logical step is Epic.
Sorry slate.
