You fail
Online gamers often use the acronym YF, which stands for “you fail”. This is commonly used to trash talk opponents during a game, especially when they make a mistake or perform poorly.
The use of YF is typically associated with players who are a bit rude, taking pleasure in highlighting your failures and their own victories. They use it as a tool to taunt you about your gaming skills, or lack thereof.
However, it’s not only the opponents who might drop a YF your way. In certain team-based games, even your own team members might use it against you. This is usually the case if you make newbie mistakes that cost your team a game they could have otherwise won.
Example for using ‘YF’ in a conversation
Hey, did you see that new video game I was playing?
Yeah, I saw it. You totally messed up at the end. YF! 😂
Come on, don’t rub it in! I’ll get better, I promise. 😅
Haha, no worries. Just teasing you. YF happens to the best of us. 😜
