WHAT THE FUCK DOES FAIL mean??? NOTHING!!!

The statement is a perversion of " One Fatal Swoop " Get it fucking right!
Actually, I believe it's from "one fell swoop." Fell in this case meaning hellish or evil.

fell 2 (fl)
adj.
1. Of an inhumanly cruel nature; fierce: fell hordes.
2. Capable of destroying; lethal: a fell blow.
3. Dire; sinister: by some fell chance.
4. Scots Sharp and biting.
Idiom:
at/in one fell swoop
All at once.
