whack - to hit

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Whack - out of whack, something that is not quite right, a little off centre maybe?

Fail - either an interjection used when one disapproves of something, or a verb meaning approximately the same thing as the slang form of suck.

I'm sorry, Durakken, I think you may have proven your own entry with that entry. I can find no suggestion that 'Whack' has anything to do with 'Fail' or 'Failure'. Whack is to strike, 'out of whack' is unbalanced or defective, possibly broken. 'Whack' is also 'crazy' in certain slang.

Or, perhaps you're trying to express an opinion about this game? In that case, it might be too sophisticated for you.

In any case, I do encourage you to check out the first post, which details the sort of linkages between words that we are using in this game. Feel free to post again! It's great to 'meet' new word-wranglers.

Anyway... I'll just combine 'Whack' as in 'murder' with 'Fail' and get:

Die

Be Well!

Perhaps he was thinking that something "out of whack" was something that "failed".

But I agree, even that follows more the rules of "word association" instead of a true synonym/homonym.
