I have never heard that language mentioned by its actual name! It was always mentioned as "Re-fail", and I hadn't really encountered it before. The examples in wikipedia nail for me why the moniker: each of the examples defines something in terms of itself. Equality: defined as 'if equal, return true'; if: defined as 'if (condition) then do if, else do else'...I'm all for bootstrapping but...wha?
