A derogatory nickname for the Daily Mail, one of the UK's best-selling tabloid newspapers. The name is typically used by critics who regard the paper as sensationalist, factually unreliable, or politically reactionary. It's widely used in British online discourse, particularly on social media and forums like Reddit and Twitter, by those who view the paper's journalism as shoddy or agenda-driven. The nickname neatly inverts 'Mail' to 'Fail,' a jab at perceived journalistic failures.
He forwarded the article but added, 'Take it with a pinch of salt — it's from the Daily Fail.'
