Success!
Win! is also acceptable.
I am Teh WinRAR. :)
A “win” is the opposite of a “fail” and indicates something positive, successful, and well-received. A stronger degree of “win” is referred to as an “epic win”. :)
This reply is made of win.
Opposite of fail: Victory! Triumph!
Other words for fail: folly, travesty
Other words for epic: herculean, gargantuan
some friends and I made a list of synonyms for these words because we were getting really annoyed with everyone saying ‘epic fail’ all the time.
@starshine Ah, that is the one I couldn’t remember – Victory
@Symbeline I’m English so have no particular affinity with Canada.I just love seeing the yanks getting beat.It’s good for the soul.
@ucme That was my point too. XD
Ahh the wonderful language of Xbox live.Makes me feel right at home.
@utzon Yeah. Win just means something is awesome, and that one approves.
OWN or PWN means just that, it’s been owned through sheer ass kicking, in its most literal sense.
Fail is to succeed, as failure is to success.

Succeed, pwnage, pwn, win, victory, success, accomplish. Some that came to mind.
Win!!
which perfectly describes Hugh Laurie suddenly glancing at the camera and you get a flash of those beautiful heartstopping “melt you where you stand” blue eyes or just like George Clooney in a tux with the bow tie undone, the top buttons of his shirt undone..and that “makes my heart race”, slightly sideways smile he does so well <turns into a puddle of gooey bunnygrl>
oooooooooooooooooo <falls over with a thud>

The opposite of fail is not own, it is win. Epic fail or epic win. Own is used as like, “you got owned.” “We owned that guy”, etc. It is used to describe a win, but is not win.
Also, FTW, or for the win, is the opposite of FTL, or for the lose.
For the longest time, I thought FTW was fuck the world.
I’m a sosiopath. :D
Oh I’m well versed with that one…I even use it for where the fuck, or change it to WTH for what the hell.
And then of course, the classic OMGWTFBBQ!!!111!1!!11onelulz
@Symbeline That’s what I thought as well for a long time, until I finally got around to realizing that it wouldn’t make any sense and looking it up
