"Fell over", to me, implies server load balancing.

“Failed over” does, I’ve never heard fell over mean anything but what’s described in the picture.

I have heard it before, albeit tongue-in-cheek. So, like the server can be "running", it can also trip and fall over.

I use it to describe a variety of things, but usually it’s related to servers not being able to handle load rather than an outright crash, but I’m not strict about it. Laos balancer failures could be it, could also just be that something was really I efficient but wasn’t noticed until it went into production.
