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.

brainer

the shits

The good human attributes that contribute to success.

With his overall excellent physical and mental facilities, health and financial savvy, he has the shits to acquire and maintain his independent, mortgage-free, rent-free, leisurely and sporting life, even with a wife and several children. I'm not so endowed.

The back-at-cha laugh.

And so, hit-hit, guess our smackdowned little man is gonna have to find some other bag to make a livelihood from. Domineering or what. His baby, not mine!

Kudos to this company's China fast turnaround in my order!

we're not in Kansas anymore

An interjection to a slip in catching on to a change or new stance, resulting in acting on according to the discontinued way.

Well, I brought in an analog TV instead of a digital one. Oops. We're not in Kansas anymore. My bad!
