this is the worst fail that I have ever seen them put up. What is the fail, it is utterly retarded. The real fail is identifying this is a fail. if the word FAP has some meaning to you that is funny, you are smoking way too much pot and should probably put the cheetos down and go do something. Who the hell voted this to be on the front page?
Stupid part about it is that you have to hold them in for several seconds before the system dials out. It’s almost faster to call 911…unless you have vonage – then you’re screwed.
so hope you are joking. all you have to do…oh, never mind, you are either joking or an idiot and you wouldn’t get it anyway so you can just go on believing that.
Brilliant!
He actually IS first, and says fist, which is almost the same word, and which is a clever play on the fail. Hats off to you, sir. Well done.
That’s a pretty sad fail. I mean, who would think of that? I usually never come to the comments, but I thought there’d be someone explaining it; and I needed it explained.
I didn’t get it either… My guess is that most of the folks who got it and decided to “like” this stupid ass fail are guys who spend way too much time masturbating anyway…
I don’t see how this is a FAIL. If fap means something vulgar in England than hurray for the English, but the rest of the world does not get the connotation and this is why this should be removed
england, america, ireland, scotland, wales… any country that speaks english gets it. And seeing as the site is in english you can see why the poster would assume that people would get it.
You are way too over the top against england, bordering on xenophobia
For those who didn’t know what “FAP” was, you’re not alone. I had no idea what it was supposed to mean. I’ve never, EVER heard of it as some kind of term relating to masturbation. It must be an extremely obscure reference that .1% of the population has ever heard of.
I have to agree this is a stupid fail, its not universal. maybe parts of the U.S. say fap but ive never heard of that in my life. And even so, there are acronyms that spell out other things and swears and those arent exactly a fail, especially if it makes sense… fire ambulance police…
I never would have guessed what those were for. Most systems I’ve seen use symbols for those instead. (Such as a flame, badge, and red cross.) Unintentional masturbatory references aside, it seems much clearer that way.
I’m with those of you who didn’t immediately get this one. I kept looking and looking to see what the button order failure was. Not a fail. And not a common term used in reference to masturbation. Obscure reference = not funny.
Hey morons maybe you should get off your f**king high horses and stop pretending that laughing at these is beneath you, your a bunch off snobby uptight d!cks, this was a good fail maybe you should research what it means instead of being an idiot and insisting that nobody understands this while really only a small group of you retards don’t get it.
Actually is: Fire, Alarm and Police. Just because I have the same alarm system in my house and in the panel of the left there are stickers of a flame, an exclamation symbol and a shield, respectivatly.
As somebody who actually installs security alarm panels I don’t really see the humor. The order in which the buttons appear is actually a UL standard I believe and almost all keypads. This isn’t a fail or a win its a lame. Sorry try again.
Most people got it, why do you think it made it to the front page and why there are only a few people saying “Most people don’t get it”. Newsflash, you aren’t everyone, just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean that no one else does either.
LAME FAIL. the fact a 12y old posted it says it all. If I was a 12y old I would maybe laugh (probably not but you know). I didn’t know failblog had turned to childish rubbish, bring back the real fails.
speaking of which did you see the water slide loop. how cool is that idea. if the run up ramp was a bit taller and he sat on 1 of those rubber mats that goes super fast I bet he would make it. A lot of time went into that hope they stick with it.
Hmmm it’s sad to see the quality of fail being diluted… FAP harhar
Go back to those first fail entries, and enjoy. This FAP is like mildly amusing, at max!
I always thought failblog was pretty clever and funny. Reading the posts in support of this lame fail makes me realize that, for some, clever is less important than a mediocre masturbation joke–and calling people names who don’t get it seems to be equally onanistic for them. So sad.
Guys, stop the bs. Cheezburger network was related to internet culture, memes and netspeak since its creation. The fact that you don’t know the internet slang is your fault, not failblog’s.
I wouldn’t be so sure that the majority of people actually know what this is supposed to mean–not everyone leaves comments. I had no idea what this was and I have been on the internet for more years than some of you have been alive.
Ok, here’s what I’ve understood from the brilliant conversations on this fail.
1. FAP stands for Fire, Ambulance, Police.
2. Fap is also slang for masturbation used in the UK, but not the US.
3. Most of the people who follow this site are in the US.
4. Thus, many people don’t understand the reference.
I think its just a little bit of Failblog not knowing their audience. It doesn’t have to be some crazy argument.
I didn’t get this either. Came to the comments to see if there was an explanation. Now that it’s been explained, it’s not funny. Nor do I think it’s a fail. I think it’s a fail for it being put up as a fail. And sorry, but i’m neither an idiot nor ignorant and still didn’t know that FAP was slang for masturbation. Also don’t think it required the types of comments that it got, but I have found that it’s the usually ignorant idiot who accuses someone else of being so.
FAP is not a word and THIS IS NOT A FAIL, you boneheads. It’s a home alarm and it means Fire, Auxilary, and Police! One button call to Fire Dept, Police, and Aux is one you set up yourself.
I have the very same security system at home, and i’m fluent in english, however i didn’t make the same connection as the guy who uploaded it…
But now that he mentioned it…i can never leave my home with a straight face
FIST!
Is what men use to fap, traditionally.
I use my fist to fap.
Dammit I was beaten. Like when I fap.
Im sorry, what does FAP mean?
lol fap is the sound the hand makes when a guy’s masturbating.
this is the worst fail that I have ever seen them put up. What is the fail, it is utterly retarded. The real fail is identifying this is a fail. if the word FAP has some meaning to you that is funny, you are smoking way too much pot and should probably put the cheetos down and go do something. Who the hell voted this to be on the front page?
umm… hey non-high person here, i know what fap means, im guessing your an idiot?
AHem, YOU’RE the idiot, for not knowing the difference between you’re and your.
Used in a sentence: Stop leaving your dumb-ass comments because you’re a jackass.
If you don’t know what fap means, get off the internet.
No, you get off the Internetz! Or I call Cyber Police!
Yes call the cyber police an YA DUN GOOFED
lol
Ranting about not knowing word meanings on the internetz. n00b!!!1
“The real fail is identifying this is a fail.”
- as a fail?…you fail.
it means fire ambulence and police
Stupid part about it is that you have to hold them in for several seconds before the system dials out. It’s almost faster to call 911…unless you have vonage – then you’re screwed.
so hope you are joking. all you have to do…oh, never mind, you are either joking or an idiot and you wouldn’t get it anyway so you can just go on believing that.
FAP, Fire, Ambulance, Police
Loser
I LIEK YOUR STYLE!
Brilliant!
He actually IS first, and says fist, which is almost the same word, and which is a clever play on the fail. Hats off to you, sir. Well done.
yes
This is win not fail
Omg she can really press his buttons.
Phone sex! (Of a sort.)
actually. it’s a security alarm, the is one of this in my school
You putting a smile on your dial!?
I command you to WANK!
first
Ummm, you only missed “first” by 22 minutes, but better luck next time douche!
Okay, someone explain the fail please.
It’s onomatoepic for masturbation.
onomatopoeic, even… *fapfapfap*
That’s a pretty sad fail. I mean, who would think of that? I usually never come to the comments, but I thought there’d be someone explaining it; and I needed it explained.
“hurr hurr I said ‘come’”.
Don’t be such a jerk.
Use moar lube next time.
Well, considering most people understood it, I’d have to say that you’re the odd one out.
So if there is a fail to be had here, I believe it is yours.
I didn’t get it either… My guess is that most of the folks who got it and decided to “like” this stupid ass fail are guys who spend way too much time masturbating anyway…
all y’all fail.
there is never too much time but rather too little, and no were not stupid asses , you are an idiot.
I rather like onomato epic.
It has a certain ring.
Yeah, I thought it was a conscious mispelling… They shoulda left it as onomatoepic. I know my faps are.
“onomatoepic” is quite epic, too
First!
It’s funny because it’s in Spanish. Spanish people won’t even know they failed.
Lurn two spaek inglish spanish peeople!!!!!
Here’s a “spanish peeople” reporting… in english (just one of the three foreign languages I can speak). puedeu usteud hablaur espanioul? LOL
Creo es
“Puede hablar espanol” because what you spelled incorrectly is “can you-u you speauk spaneiush?”
duuuuudes… they both purposely spelled things wrong in your respective languages. now get over yourselves and laugh about it.
exactly knitink, that’s exactly what both Amphitheater and I did
here, just copy&paste this letter “ñ” for the next time you try to write “español”
ah, I’ve got it uppercase too: Ñ
Lame. Stop trying so hard. You are ruining fail blog.
Ummm, I don’t get the fail. It’s Fire, Ambulance, Police and its on tons of alarms that exact way.
its sez fap as in “i faped so hard my d!ck fell off”
Security alarm:
Fire
Ambulance
Police
thankyou nobody on here knew that
Ring ring ring ring
ring ring ring ring
BANANA PHONE
You, sir, win.
Lady, but thanks
HAHAHAHA!!! it’s funny cause of masturbation!!!
failblog never ceases to outdo itself.
hahaha its funny cuz you said “outdo itself” implying that this site masturbates vigurously
Oh wow, Cpt. Obvious and his defective clone brother
that’s Win for me.
I dont see anything wrong with this picture. if anything its a fail for the poster of this picture
I don’t see how this is a FAIL. If fap means something vulgar in England than hurray for the English, but the rest of the world does not get the connotation and this is why this should be removed
It’s not just England, dude.
england, america, ireland, scotland, wales… any country that speaks english gets it. And seeing as the site is in english you can see why the poster would assume that people would get it.
You are way too over the top against england, bordering on xenophobia
um…I didn’t get it, and I speak English in America. I learned something new today. yay for me.
I HAVE THAT ALARM SYSTEM!
Not a fail… LAME
This would seem to be a useful device.
Is that one o’ those there Jerry Brown Fails ads I spy in the corner?
*Puts on glasses*
Why, yes it is! It seems Failblog failed!
FAIL
I wonder what happens if you press those buttons
The dial tone comes to your ear.
a fire truck, an ambulance and the police arrive at your home and find out that you are an effing idiot
It stands for Fire Ambulance Police. I used to have a system in my house LONG before FAP stood for masturbation.
Get a life people!!
its spanish idiots Fuego-Ambulancia-Policía
(fire-ambulance-police)
get a life
For those who didn’t know what “FAP” was, you’re not alone. I had no idea what it was supposed to mean. I’ve never, EVER heard of it as some kind of term relating to masturbation. It must be an extremely obscure reference that .1% of the population has ever heard of.
This is a Failblog submission FAIL.
no, it’s a
know the memes that started when grampa was a spring chicken FAIL
I have to agree this is a stupid fail, its not universal. maybe parts of the U.S. say fap but ive never heard of that in my life. And even so, there are acronyms that spell out other things and swears and those arent exactly a fail, especially if it makes sense… fire ambulance police…
gtfo the internet
agree’d a large part of the population gets it, it beyond me how someone couldn’t understand this.
im not from USA and i understand the fap meaning
lame. you really have to want this to be a fail/win for it to be so.
I never would have guessed what those were for. Most systems I’ve seen use symbols for those instead. (Such as a flame, badge, and red cross.) Unintentional masturbatory references aside, it seems much clearer that way.
F***ing
A
Palm
I’m with those of you who didn’t immediately get this one. I kept looking and looking to see what the button order failure was. Not a fail. And not a common term used in reference to masturbation. Obscure reference = not funny.
its NOT OBSCURE YOU RETARDS GOOD, GET ON THE INTERNET MOAR
I… never realized that “fap” isn’t a common word. I thought it already was.
We use it all the time around here, and english isn’t our native language ffs
Hey morons maybe you should get off your f**king high horses and stop pretending that laughing at these is beneath you, your a bunch off snobby uptight d!cks, this was a good fail maybe you should research what it means instead of being an idiot and insisting that nobody understands this while really only a small group of you retards don’t get it.
its kinda a win
Actually is: Fire, Alarm and Police. Just because I have the same alarm system in my house and in the panel of the left there are stickers of a flame, an exclamation symbol and a shield, respectivatly.
Mine is fapfap. http://twitpic.com/2aiahq
As somebody who actually installs security alarm panels I don’t really see the humor. The order in which the buttons appear is actually a UL standard I believe and almost all keypads. This isn’t a fail or a win its a lame. Sorry try again.
memes are hard for you, huh.
Also, it is ‘it’s’.
Another failblog-fail… not funny at all… Most people probably don´t even get it (including me, before reading the comments)
Most people got it, why do you think it made it to the front page and why there are only a few people saying “Most people don’t get it”. Newsflash, you aren’t everyone, just because you don’t get it doesn’t mean that no one else does either.
BTW the guy who posted this fail is a f***ing 12 year-old.
AAANNDDD he knows more than some of you about memes.
LAME FAIL. the fact a 12y old posted it says it all. If I was a 12y old I would maybe laugh (probably not but you know). I didn’t know failblog had turned to childish rubbish, bring back the real fails.
speaking of which did you see the water slide loop. how cool is that idea. if the run up ramp was a bit taller and he sat on 1 of those rubber mats that goes super fast I bet he would make it. A lot of time went into that hope they stick with it.
Google FAP you morons!!!!!
If you have to look it up, then it’s a fail of a fail.
if you don’t understand it it does not mean that is a fail it means that you are a fail
i have the same one xD
…or “knowing their customers win.”
If people have to google or urbandictionary FAP to get why this is a fail, then this fail is a fail.
I’m a security tech, and I see this like 3-4 times a day and never twigged! DSC make very nice security systems and I never twigged! LOL
I have the DSC Power 810 panel which has the LCD but the same keypad. In the 11 years I’ve had it in my house I’ve never noticed the layout.
@ Security Tech – How the hell do I set up a duress code on my system?
lol whats so funny about it?
its a mexican alarm
FAP
stands for Fuego, Ambulancia, Policia (fire, ambulance and police)
i thinks it a win altough it should be one button
Hmmm it’s sad to see the quality of fail being diluted… FAP harhar
Go back to those first fail entries, and enjoy. This FAP is like mildly amusing, at max!
I always thought failblog was pretty clever and funny. Reading the posts in support of this lame fail makes me realize that, for some, clever is less important than a mediocre masturbation joke–and calling people names who don’t get it seems to be equally onanistic for them. So sad.
Guys, stop the bs. Cheezburger network was related to internet culture, memes and netspeak since its creation. The fact that you don’t know the internet slang is your fault, not failblog’s.
i work at a bank and this is on our key pad too:
http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q15/jweber68/FAPFAPFAP.jpg
Mine says the same thing. D: I was gonna post it eventually…
I wouldn’t be so sure that the majority of people actually know what this is supposed to mean–not everyone leaves comments. I had no idea what this was and I have been on the internet for more years than some of you have been alive.
Just dumb. I think a pic of this being posted as a fail is more fail-worthy.
Retarded english slang… not funny at all … and f*cking dumb
I think a FAIL is when you try to do anything and goes wrong, this is not a fail.
I posted the same thing a year ago, and they never put it up.
Ok, here’s what I’ve understood from the brilliant conversations on this fail.
1. FAP stands for Fire, Ambulance, Police.
2. Fap is also slang for masturbation used in the UK, but not the US.

gtfo of the internet
FAP is not a word and THIS IS NOT A FAIL, you boneheads. It’s a home alarm and it means Fire, Auxilary, and Police! One button call to Fire Dept, Police, and Aux is one you set up yourself.
Now that’s what I call phone sex!
I never knew this would get to the front page o.o
I shouldn’t have submitted it anonymously :\
Fighting over who submitted this retarded post = FAIL
diaz – gtfo the internet
LMAO I have this same model at my house.
That is a much better FAIL than the FAP thing. That actually is humorous.
That would only be a fail if it were a phone made for Hebrew people. But is still a better fail than for what it was posted.
Well i guess its best to have it on speed dial
I have same model at home as well,but in Spain FAP means nothing, a worthless fail
I have the very same security system at home, and i’m fluent in english, however i didn’t make the same connection as the guy who uploaded it…
But now that he mentioned it…i can never leave my home with a straight face
