Fuckup colloquially means nothing other than “mishap” or “mistake”. The concept of the Fuckup Night aims to communicate openly about professional failures. Originating in Mexico in 2012, this event concept has spread all over the world and is enjoying great popularity. Legend says the idea was born, when five drunk friends stumbled across the question, why everyone is just talking about the obvious success stories rather than talking about obvious failures. So the aim of a Fuckup Night is to introduce a culture of failure. Failure – far from being shameful, is seen as a necessary experience that can sometimes be the key to success.
