Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
A traveling museum that explores failure has opened in Washington, D.C.
Flop
The Museum of Failure began in 2017. It holds about 150 products that flopped after their release ot the public. The museum’s organizer said we learn more form our failures than our successes.
The noun flop is often used to mean a failure. Flop also means a sudden fall or drop. Imagine how a newborn’s head flops when not supported. Or maybe you flop into a chair at home after a long day of work.
