But I guess it is used as a noun - but it's more than than now... it's a transcendent state in which group of things, people, and places can exist in many different combinations, containing both action and object. It's almost sublime on it's simplicity to dscribe a picture, when used correctly. :P “Fail” is really a verb turned into a noun, as in the “FAIL” captions – Those captions are describing the action in present tense.

But none of the words or phrases in the picture at the head of this post mean anything to me -- and I spend a lot of time cruising the Internet. Perhaps some of the words in the original article might be actual buzzwords -- but I'm not going to click on a link to the New York Times to find out. I have standards. I can actually read the font.
