Inferred failure!
How many times do I have to tell people, I am not furry, I have been De-ferred.
Are you waxing Brazilian?
Wax on wax off.
Do you call her Mrs Meowgi San!?
Can I get you to show me “wax on wax off”?
Of course
*coats guybo in red hot wax*
*covers in cotton*
*rips off repeatedly*
Oooo. . . a man-o-lantern.
OK, guys.
This is evidence that political correctness has gone WAY TO STINKIN’ FAR!!!
as if any more evidence was needed…
People tend to forget that they are not entitled to pass. They earn it or they fail. Pe-riod.
Then wane on, wane off, for good measure.
Chris, i hope you die. Because that was so pathetic I died. Its only fair…
Success deferred is success denied.
The real fail is that he’s using AT&T.
can is say a bad word? If i do will my parints find out? Becuasae im not allowed to say bad words…my parints cant see this page right?
So it’s really Audi deferred success? Where’s Arthur?
We can’t just become deferredsuccesspeeps, it’s disturbing.

You forgot the >ZAP!<
DEFFERED SUCCESS!
How do we say “BMW WIN!!!11!!!” in pc-speak? “BMW slightly higher outcome of mutual gain”?
BMW loss of deferred success.
BMW reduced probability of deferred success?
Well, I’m glad they are at least willing to let the word “fail” remain in the dictionary. Remember the ultra-Christian guy who wanted to replace “hello” with “heaveno”?
BWAHAHAHAHA! Is that true?
Yeah, it’s true, I just had a horrible flash-back to that making the news…
What is is that at least one set of expecting parents consulted a member of the clergy before calling their child “Lucy” – were worried that it was short for “Lucifer” (etymology “deferred success”).
It is. He was a vicar if memory serves right. He also preferred to talk about the “Heavenistic Period”. “Lube in the Heavenistic Period”.
Heavter Skelter sounds dumb.
*squeeze*
Ghost in the Sheaven?
She sells sea sheavens by the sea shore?
Heavenlujah!
that doesn’t work, it would if he wanted to replace hall with heaven, heavenuva good try
So, I guess he never referred to the country English calls Greece by its official name?
Heavenistic period?
Does he live in Heavenski, Finland?
We should propose it is replaced with Liono instead!
The proper response to which is
THUNDERCATS! HOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!
I am not a ho, thank you!
That has yet to be determined. If you do not accept money for your night time adventures, you are not a ho, just a skank. But if you have accepted payment for even one incident, you are indeed a ho. I am sorry, but those are the rules.
What about the barter system? My wife (Girl friend at the time) paid for my dinner once.
Then you sir are a ho.
Ho man! Do I get a union card?
Or a bottle of rum? (Yo ho ho … )
Hos don’t get cards! Pimps hold all the cards.
BWAHAHAHA!! That’s a good one!
Or the radical feminists who wanted to teach “Herstory”?
Up his!
*Licks Fail*
Did it taste like success? Deferred or otherwise?
I refered to this success within deferred or otherwise.
I give up.
No Mookie, Just defer
EPIC DEFERRED SUCCESS!
no, it doesn’t have the same ring to it…
EPIC UNSUCCESS!
nah…
ummm…. huh…. errr…. any ideas?
There you have it, failblog will scar you for life….
don’t you mean deferredsuccessblog? hahaha
Stop calling them “pupils” – they’re “deferred adults”.
I don’t like “deferred success” – I prefer “future gas station attendants.”
“Table wipers of the future?”
“Projected chambermaids”
“Eventual British teachers”
*cries*
*deferredsuccessconsoles*
oops! sorry my hand had a deferred agenda
He’s just happy to see you.
its a whole salad to toss!
Ever think about changing your name, ED? “Etymological Deffered Triumph”?
ED? Erectile Dysfunction?
“Trained monkeys of tommorrow”
“Speculative Drive Thru attendants”
Impending bankers?
“Destined tabledancers”
“Imminent s3x workers”
potential pole-dancers!
They should fail fail fail!
street sweepers of tomorrow
“Only a matter of time before they get elected President of the U.S.”
Or become journalists for Fox news.
or take comments on failblog so seriously you have to look stupid…
or… uh… oh! i got it! or NOT make a sword!

Adults are just deferred corpses.
Fail fail?
Its a fail paradox win!
You could probably strike it from the dicitionary.

Juses Christ, Moomin – would you learn how to spell??!!
Dicionary?

That’s the only Catholic-approved way, isn’t it?

♪ We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control ♪
Speak for yourself! I do want some thought control!
No! I speak for everybody when I say we don’t need no thought control!
Do not want...do not want...I do want dark sarcasm in the classrooms.
Then I won’t leave you alone.
I’d better eat all of the meat then.
Good idea, puddin’.
Now, where do I put the Pink one again?
Where’s the Moomin when we need him?
And since we ALWAYS need him, he should always be here.
*SQUEEEEEEEZE*
He’s a bizzy, building a brick wall around himself.
I made it out of pez bricks so I can lick my way out when the time is right.
Good with your tongue, are you?
Yes, yes he is.
only a wall? come on, Moomin! you’ll miss the fun! how about a… oh! how about a “forcecage” effect! or, if that’s too much, a “wall of force” effect!
Don’t stand, don’t stand so
Don’t stand so close to me
Personal space deferred success… that’s way creepier than a personal space fail.
I miss fails that don’t require reading.
Stop that, stop that now!
*squeeze*
Did PAT put you off reading?
I wouldn’t go there again either. Nowt but chavs and geezers.
Who cares what the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT) thinks? We’ll take this all the way to the World Teachers Federation (WTF)!
Remember you read it first here on DeferredSuccessBlog.org
Ouch, that hurts! Keep your hands to yourself!
*puts on hat*
It was my own hair I was pulling.
Didn’t occur to me (fail:deferred success) that anyone would think I was pulling someone else’s.
This is almost as good as teachers turning their backs on red pens because the color is “too harsh”. Sadly, the red pens story is true and this one isn’t. I searched for the article, and it doesn’t exist.
You may now return to your merry-making.

Yay!! It’s a real fail…ahem… deferred success.
Zero had deferred success… Maybe some day that article will not exist anymore, then Zero is right.
Wow, some form of weird calculus: as time -> infinity, zero approaches True.
That just crossed my limit!
I’m a little set in my [ways].
Is that theory or do you have proof?
Brace yourself!!

To embrace someone’s ED just makes it more obvious that his rod hull is too soft.

waiting-too-much-time-before-posting deferred success
What about the kids put off learning for life by their quasi-stalinist tree-hugging half-wit British ‘teachers’?
you mean the ones called the “smart ones”?
well they do need to find ways of recruiting new teachers and this way all children that went to school will be more than qualified to school the next generation of half-wits
And turn them into quarter-wits.
Quasi-stalinist? That’s outrageous! What happened to the real Stalinists?
They didn’t get very good Marx …
Ah, did you mean non-capitalist life-embracing deferred success producing … err, I actually don’t know if ‘British’ is politically correct but I rather think so… teachers?
British is fine- Just never call someone from Scotland, English.
Unless of course, you wanted those parts of your anatomy removed.
Honestly, I don’t think you should tell Woohoo that his/her anatomy is English. Ever watched a Robin Hood movie? HUGE bow, but a small arrow. If Woohoo is a guy, you’ve probably told him he’s fat and, in addition, hurt his pride beyond any chance of healing. And if Woohoo’s a gal (the opposite of guy, right?), you’ve done something even worse, and indicated that she is fat and has a pointy nose. She’ll hunt you down…
I think k@ assumed I’m a guy which is true. Anyways, I didn’t interpret ‘those parts’ as ‘those English parts’ but … thinking along those lines… *cry*. Considering your English longbow comparison it seems that you’re almost always better off with ‘British’ since it is a lot more vague. At least no Swiss Wilhelm Tell crossbow analogy anywhere in sight… *phew*
I want a FAIL! stamp!
I’m not sure a person who is a deferred success would be able to spell the phrase, couldn’t we just shorten it down to notwin or passnot or dumbf*ck
I’m partial to halfwit.
i’m available
You’re not half bad.
If it’s so damaging to hear of your failings, teachers could instead walk around the classroom telling everyone but the failed student that they’ve won.
It’ll be like a strange game of duck, duck, goose.
‘win’, ‘win’, ‘win’, *silence*, ‘win’…
Ridiculous. Not to mention it’s risking making kids even more narcissistic. Kids need to learn how to deal with failing!
*makes rehab for failures*
Like Sports Day with no winners, true, happened this year. School made it ‘non competative’?????
who was the least competitive?
And did they lose at deferring success?
*sends self back to school*
*sits on naughty step with hands on head*
*repeats 50 times, must check spelling first*
What is this “naughty step” of which you speak? It sounds mildly intriguing. Can I have my own naughty step?
Is your last sentence a question? If so I say “no”. Not ’cause I know, just because I feel like it.
(BTW – in our school sports events we had “Winner” and “Honour” certificates. I have no idea which one was for first place and which one for every other place…)
I’ve worked at places where failures were called “opportunities”.
If you’re talking about huge banks I’d say rightfully so.
yes sir! the project was a complete deferred success! sign this cheque
Reminds me of when out IT department referred to our project as “soft done.”
Completely agree. Telling a child “you have failed the Math test” is not like telling them “you are a fail”, which is the harmful thing to say. By avoiding the “fail” subject, you are sentencing them to worse failures later in life.
thanks
very good
god damn emos
Pfft! If it’s good enough for Rod Hull…
*roffles*
I now can’t shake this vision of Rod Hull’s rod hull being stuck inside an emu.
I googled him and now I *snork*ed.
BTW, found this pic – maybe that’s your vision?

It appears to be your own fault.

Okay Failblog, if you want trouble I give you trouble! GRRRRR!
This is a deferred nested comment.
It’s a lesser deferred success for moderation.

So in Britain this blog will be known as the Deferred Success Blog.
You have successfully deferred at being original.
Snap.
Please. Someone else make this joke.
Okay, so this one time, Randy Beamen’s cat made this joke, only the joke was unoriginal and nobody laughed and so the cat got all hissy and changed the DNS a name record for failblog.org to deferredsuccessblog.org and everyone was like… meh.
I give up. Three attempts to reply to jam to tell her I snorked, all in moderation.
You borked the blog. Tsk!
Three snorks, one bork, now stick a fork in it.
(OK, not quite a rap song.)
Needs more work (rhyme “deferred success”).
I wanted revenge!
Ooh you naughty! You turned to the dark side.
The title just MAKES it. That is EPIC fail.
Epic Deferred Success???
i think this fail has less to do with feeling sorry for the kids and more to do with feeling fear for your life when writing FAIL on a Chav’s report card
You’ve capitalised chav… ?
that because of the disappointment felt when the chav when shows it to her/his kids…
If i keep commenting will I eventually get a first?
I’m sure Rod Hull will let you borrow emu for a few hours.
oooh! *starts eating seed*
Why is it that British teachers’ organizations tend to have such unfortunate acronyms – Professional Association of Teachers (PAT), National Union of Teachers (NUT), … ?
You pass you pass when you fail you deferred success?
nesting fail or deferred success.
This isn’t fail, this is deferred success!
ah…. you all made my morning. its like/b but without the nightmares
I’m guessing “deferredsuccessblog.org” wouldn’t be a hit.
Victory Adjournment. Maybe we should have just mocked other creatures with our opposable thumbs and left it at that.
I have to go cry now.
I like what you did here.
George Carlin has died of deferred heart success.
But, deferred success implies that they will someday succeed at what they really fail at. It would just set them up for a lifetime of getting their hopes up when it will never happen.
If student fail to complete an assignment, hand it in, or do it correctly, why do teachers need to worry about hurting their desire to work in the future? The students don’t want to work now, and that’s the problem. Changing an “F” on a report card to a “DS” isn’t going to help. If the students don’t care and their parents don’t care about school, there isn’t much the teachers can do.
Agreed. Sometimes a failure is permanent, and people should be acknowledged for the completeness of their failures.
I’ve been retraining as an NVQ assessor (also in the UK), and when a candidate does not succeed in an assessment we aren’t supposed to “fail” them either – we judge them “not yet competent”, which is rather more hopeful as it only means that on that occasion they aren’t competent, but it doesn’t mean that on a future assessment that they won’t be too, so leaves scope that at some point, they will BE competent. (You hope)
No Fail? If it weren’t for demoralized students who were put off learning early, there would be no one to pump my gas and bag my groceries!
Just think of what this will do to the economy! No one will want to do the menial tasks anymore! Who’s going to clean up after me?
thats what they did in Quebec…
Ahh yes, newspeak. Or was it called political correctness?
teacher DEEEEEFFFFEEEERRRREEEDDDD SSSSUUUUCCCSSSSEEEESSSS!!
nope dosn’t have the same ring to it as
FFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!111!!!11
This isn’t a fail, it’s a deferred success.
WOAH your battery is running low
Of course yo can always try to strike pollitically incorrect words from the dictionary. Big Brother will be duble-plus pleased with your efforts.
Oh look – THIS STORY IS FOUR AND A HALF YEARS OLD!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4697461.stm
Way to stay topical, Failblog.
Failure has an expiration date.
After the expiration date has passed, deferred success is achieved as actual success. Lollipops are awarded at a big ceremony.
Your invitation may have been deferred.
But… but… it’s in an iPhone screencap! It MUST be now, happening, and of the moment! It’s iNews! It cannot be old or out of date!
/notes the irony of the Bluetooth logo on the top bar, the iPhone implementation being a Deferred Success re: grasping the concept of “a universal interchange standard for wireless communications” if ever there was one.
Perfect!
Deferred Success Win!
And you wonder why there are so many emo-kids out there nowadays. Organizations like just support that children can act like spoiled little emotional brats instead of teaching them to develop a bit of a spine.
I must have been lucky. I already had a spine when I was born.
We already have deferred success, isn’t that what “D” stands for? If you manage an F, it’s too late for you, you fail.
I am a student teacher, and even I think this is ridiculous.
It’ll never sell to the parents, don’t worry. And I don’t think the British system uses letter-grades, Scott.
Agreed. As a student, I would much rather just hear, “You failed.” , than listen to them try to sugar-coat the fact that I got a grade that ANYONE can surpass if they actually tried.
Also, why is everyone so worried about how WE feek? Have people seen the way some kids treat their teachers? Good grief!
Oops, typo. I meant how why is everyone so worried about how we *feel*
Sorry, but it does…. well, at least until you get to degree level. Then it’s percentage marks topped off by a 1st/upper 2nd/lower 2nd*/3rd/pass*/fail rating.
(* because no-one wants to be 4th or 5th, I suppose… what medals come after bronze?)
It’s a bit different though, IIRC A* for top marks then A-G for passing grades, N (near pass? near fail? not graded? basically, you didn’t pass, but ooooh so close try again in the resits) and U (unclassified, ie YOU FAIL IT HARD) at GCSE (16 yrs old high school main leavers exams). Wierdness in the system that you can usually take two tiers of exams, one easy lot grading you C-G, and a harder one grading you A*-E or something. C is normally the lowest you want to admit to having, so if your ability is borderline decent you can take a chance on flunking the hard paper, or ace the easy one…
Then A-E (pass, lowest equivalent to GCSE C) and U (vanilla fail) for A/AS-Level (17 and 18 year old upper high school/local college exams). The grades in which determine whether you satisfy the minimum ability for various university courses. Many students will take three “proper” subjects plus a general study exam and maybe a half-grade side module or two. A common course may have a BBC or BCC requirement (only counting the “proper” grades), though you could slip in with BBD/ACD/ABE if you’re smooth enough at interview and the highest mark is in the most relevant subject, as it’s more about total points in a lot of cases. Places like Oxford will have AAA requirements in a lot of subjects and you’ll STILL have to ace the interviews and written application, much like going for a job…
Most other things like vocational qualifications and the like are just pass/fail with no particular grading, unless you get told the %age (or marks out of 900 for CompTIA…), it’s good and you want to flaunt it. They’re just not “important” enough, despite often being the things (besides a good interview and reference reply) that employers are more interested in than a load of dusty general-purpose exams you may have done almost 10 years earlier by the time you escape the degree & professional training grind…
I am sure they are not part of PAT, but probably are NUTs (National Union of Teachers). ‘Nuff said.
I’m in uni atm and we can’t fail, we get “deferred” win win! yay
I propose instead of “fail” it should be “un-good”. We can also replace “success” with “double plus good”. I will make a recommendation to the minitruth that all references to the word “fail” be sent down the memory hole.
No!!! George Orwell does not write these blogs!!!
2086… *shudder*
^^
“differed success” implies that they are going to succeed at a later point… which is giving too much credit to some.
British fail since their tea was wet
they need to quit “beatin’ around the bush” and just tell a kid if he is being and idiot.
Would have been funnier if the caption had been “Deferred success,” but that’s just me. Still a hilarious story.
Seconded, signed, for truthiness.
Or maybe SUCCESS DEFERRED because that scans better and is more grammaticalish.
Also, I’m going to start using this term now, as sarcastically and ironically as possible in the hope it stops it from becoming mainstream in the originally intended sense. Because it’s dumb shit like that leads to people taking their driving test 100+ times and eventually squeaking by, when common sense should surely dictate that YOU FAIL, STOP TRYING TO DRIVE, take all the money you’re blowing on lessons and tests and spend it on cab fare instead, if this is the speed at which you learn and gain experience then you’ll be deadly dangerous and/or rapidly made into dogmeat when cut adrift on real roads nowhere near as friendly or familiar (or, probably, as unchanging) as your local neighbourhood.
Sometimes being told and knowing that you’re no good at something, and can safely avoid trying to do it or being any good for the rest of your life can be an overwhelmingly freeing and positive thing. You can now stop trying to fit in with whatever societal norm you were aiming for, and concentrate on being good at other things and working around the problem instead (EG I know of someone who is both an excellent database admin and musician, but can’t drive, and no longer bothers with trying. The other work would probably suffer, as well as the people he’d run over…). You have a bona fide excuse card for whenever someone else says “why don’t you just… (xyz)?”. Obviously this also has some exceptions, such as “not murdering people, even those who REALLY deserve it”.
I’ve never once failed a class, but I’m put off learning. I think they need more information before saying that the word fail is what makes people hate learning..
fail, fail?
I miss George Carlin too!! I like words, but please.. ..this is just ASKING for dyslexia!!
Even though George Carlin is gone, we an still give “deferred success” the Worm Quartet treatment:
C is for Lettuce
this is a big deferred… um.. FAIL !!!!
We should inform these teachers every day of their careers that THEY fail just for proposing this liberal political correctness bullshit.
Hmm, I was listening to Turboneg… TurbodarkskinnedpeopleofAfricanheritage when I read this
Why not teach them how to win, and not worry about it?
What next, can’t say “loser” anymore and have to refer people like that as “future winners”?
As in “my street is full of future winners”.
I think I get where you’re coming from on this one…. sure I’ve heard this term used in such a way before
one imagines a voice so dripping with sarcasm you may need to wear a bib.
Also: b3tahaku?
Reminds me of the old Beetle Baily cartoon in which Beetle was asking what “lq” was. ..and did he really think taking the “k” and ‘p” off Sarg’s typewriter would somehow keep him from getting assigned KP duty.
So why don’t they remove the word “succeed” too..so the kids who had their success deferred don’t get jealous. Maybe they should call it “being a swatty little bookworm”?
Don’t you mean Deffered Subjects?
Wow, deferred idiocy runs rampant in the UK.
I’m making a note here: non-deferred success
Oh my god…kids these days are soft! They need to toughen up! I’ve been kicked, dragged and bitten by the Mustangs I train, and I never complained once about the wounds they give me!
Give these kids a paper cut and you’d think someone ripped their whole finger off!
Sad when our kids aren’t prepared for the real world, let alone the word fail. I weep for the next generation. I really do.
George Carlin was a hateful old man.
Agreed. He is not missed.
If you think George Carlin was not missed, I say you have a deferred sense of humor. Also, he was bitter because he had lived a deferred life. Furthermore, Mr. Carlin was raised by a deferred family and born of a broken home.
You have no humor
That proposal is a deferred success.
from the same school system that brought back segregated bathrooms for the muslims? not surprised. hope the people in the US are paying attention, and learn from the problems to come.
So instead of people getting an F for fail they’ll get a DS… Dumb Shit?
1984 anyone? This is superplusungood!
Your Newspeak is doubleplusungood. Get a Newspeak Goodform Refbook.
deferred success are u jokin XD ahahahahahaha
OMG I AM WATCHING A GEORGE CARLIN WTF AM I DOING IN NEW JERSEY SHOW AND I DECIDED TO GET ON FAIL BLOG AND I SAW THIS
everybody hop on the deferred success boat…
Deferred news — this is from 2005. You know, when George Carlin was still in his “deferred death” state.
Maybe it was learning about this that finally did him in?
They should exchange the word Win to ‘not deferred succes’ too!
Well, if George Carlin were alive and did a show in London, this now makes “8 words you can never say on television & radio”.
This is an epic deferred success.
yeah, i totally miss George Carlin too.
And this is why we’re going to get dumber as a people. No push to strive, no consequence for failure. It’s not how the real world works, why the hell are we teaching it at schools?!
deferredsuccessblog.org
faaaaaaaaillllllllllllllll
FAILURES of tomorrow. children who fail school don’t really care if they fail or not. the word “FAIL” only demorializes those who try their absoulte best, but most of the time, they’ll do great. =.=*
Another thing to consider:
One cannot attain success without first having experienced failure.
Indeed, we learn from our mistakes do we not?
I’ve learnt a lot from mistakes alone in the past couple weeks. That sense of “yep… been there…” is what makes Failblog great, sometimes.
Though othertimes it is just the cretinous downfall of people who really, really should have known better.
oh my god its like 1984
I’m watching you, leaftorn.
The caption should say “deferred success”
Woohooo. All my f’s have been upgraded to d’s.
Welcome to the Deferred Success System Link Journal.
I’m not surprised really. Here in New Zealand, if you pass you have “achieved”, if you fail, you have “not achieved”
Deferred Success is better than the options I had in mind:
LOSER
MEDIOCRE
WASTE OF SPACE
If we say FAIL = “deferred success”
Should we then say
Some Brit teachers = f^#%@%$ idiots?
Nah.
Some Brit teachers = deferred intelligence.
Dibs on the deferredsuccessblog.org domain name!
Can’t wait to start posting EPIC DEFERRED SUCCESS pictures!
“FAIL” or “DEFERRED SUCCESS.”
What, pray tell, is the change supposed to resolve? It doesn’t change the fact that somebody did something stupid and ended up getting recognized for it.
It only makes use of a seemingly less offensive phrase in place of a simple word used in slang, but it doesn’t change the context that SOMEBODY FAILED.
Political correctness = COMMON SENSE FAIL.
“Get the #$%& out of your desk, Bobby, you’re a loser!”
Ugliness: “deferred plastic surgery”
Death: “deferred resurrection”
Misery: “deferred lottery win”
Let’s keep on keeping children away from the ugly aspects of reality, so that when they go out of school they will commit suicide for a mosquito bite.
Just another proof that the real reason our children do not learn is the inability of most teachers to teach, much less being able to participate in a real world setting. Make teachers pay reflect when they actually get their students to learn.
Better yet pay the teachers a “deferred salary” for their “deferred success” in teaching a student that earns a “deferred success” award.
Love the idea that teachers are entirely responsible for student success (sarcasm). Does it motivate a student to believe a teacher will be penalized if he or she doesn’t do well on a test? Where have you gone Al Shanker?
Believe me … I know enough teachers. They as much as everyone else think that the whole thing is bullshit. Just as frontline office / telephone service peons aren’t to blame for their company’s stupid actions, the on-the-ground teachers don’t even have TIME to come up with such glorious nonsense as this. They’d much prefer to be able to tell the stupid scrotes who make their life hell and/or poison their (dreaded) league table result straight-up that their efforts would be better spent elsewhere. Or at least, spent on *something* within the classroom environment. Just because some loony teachers organisation comes up with a thing such as this doesn’t mean it necessarily reflects the views of the masses who are too busy to even notice it happening.
One thing that’s slipped the net is that you can’t call it a “suspension” or an “exclusion” any more. No… they stay out of school for a “work at home and reflection day”. You couldn’t make this shit up.
If there was ever a reason to re-animate the dead it would be to summon George Carlin’s thoughts on this.
although I can some up my feelings.
Saying ‘you failed at that task’ is not labeling people, it’s telling the damn truth, how’s a kid going to feel once he realizes people were using light bs weasel words instead of the truth?
Also why is it so difficult to tell kids ‘you failed but you can try again’
Imagine the following scenario
“Did I pass my driver’s license test?”
“You had deferred success”
“Sweet”
Epic deferred sucess.
DEFERRED SUCCESS!

I miss Carlin Aswell
Sorry, but no, becousdeferredsuccessblog.org is inb4 hard to type!
Never mind that Gay itself is a long time-served Deferred Success in itself – go find a dictionary. Originally it would have just been a very veiled reference to a homosexual man’s stereotypically more flamboyant personality (yes, I realise that is a RAGING, if not FLAMING overgeneralisation, and I’ve myself known a couple of guys on the more butch end of the spectrum who later came out….. though one DID have a suspicious soft spot for Grease
… and rather camp types who at least claim to be straight as an arrow…. stereotypes and gossip care not), with Gay meaning happy, chirpy, colourful, etc. There was a Gayland at a mid 1930s Peace Fair in new york state, apparently…
Though that only flourished because, like ni**er – a word that itself would probably have died out decades ago otherwise – it was adopted by the very community it was originally used against in scorn or code and used as an internal term of affection or comradeship. Let’s hope DefSuc (hmm! now there’s a telling contraction!) doesn’t go the same way. Chav seems to be doing it, at the moment, even though unlike Gay – a somewhat affectionate, lighthearted term on the surface – and Ni…. – once purely descriptive of location and/or skin tone before becoming a term of oppression and abuse – it was derogatory from the off.
Spokesman for PAT: We should replace ‘fail’ with ‘deferred success’ to avoid demoralizing pupils.
George Carlin: Presuck my genital situation.
It’s like Cartoon Network censoring the word “kill” and replacing it with “destroy” or “end”. Apparently kids hearing “kill” automatically made them want to go out and kill people. Half of the shows on Toonami were hacked to bits because of it.
I miss him too!
Hey also, for reenforcement, rather than school busses, kids should be delivered to class in limos.
shouldn’t the caption say deffered success?
“Let Evel Knievel get on the plane, I’m getting IN the plane.”

No truer words spoken. RIP.
Oh … my … god!! Seriously?!?!
If they failed their classes, they most likely won’t even understand what “deferred success” even means…
is this the response to the US ban on correcting a paper in red pen? “OMG it intimidates kids! OOOH!” wtf kids are you raising?!
deferredsuccesblog.org?
the picture shouldnt say FAIL like most other ones… it should say DEFERRED SUCESS!
There banning fail, With fail?
