bombed out

To fail badly at something, while suggesting there was an element of unluckiness or
inevitability working against you or the subject of said failure.
A slightly
slicker way of saying 'epic fail' or 'botched' and a quicker way of saying 'crashed and burned' while lacking the
culpability of 'screwed up'.
Example:
a: How'd it go with what's-her-name last night?
b: Ah, I bombed out, but no worries, I hooked up with your sister.
a: Oh... Wait, what?
X: How's the
derivatives business going? Still trading CDS and
sub-prime mortgages?
Y: Nah, market bombed out, wasn't my fault.
X: Yes it was
you sack of shit!

Another expression I
made up from listening to too much
hip-hop and use a lot. It means pretty much the same as "amazing", "cool", or "bomb-ass", but I mostly use it for describing sexual
matters.
