wins

What your machine or gadget does when it breaks down and quits on you.

Well, the transmission's shot, or the head is blown, or it wouldn't start this morning. My car wins! And I lose in this old time-money-inconvenience round. That temperamental, or worse, heap of lemon! You win if you nip the sucker in the bud with a minimum of drama.

stereoist

Music collector determined to keep his playlist all true stereo, as much as available, not letting that 1 or 2 songs go as mono or "underwater" stereo when they are indeed available in true stereo.

As a stereoist, I go to great lengths to keep my playlist all true stereo, even if I have to search for & buy extra music & cover accordingly what it takes to keep it pure.
