The act of someone losing fair and square and not being able to handle that they got beat, a form of denial that plagues very competitive people. Getting your ass handed to you and thinking up the dumbest excuse there is.

You have lost this battle.
You have defeated only a small portion of our army.

A phrase lamenting that sometimes things go your way, and sometimes they do not. A proverbial shrug of the shoulders and a humble acceptance that we do not possess the power to control everything and we must be content to let the chips fall where they may.

Friend 1: Damn, that sucks.
Friend 2: What are you gonna do?... You win some, Jerusalem.. right?

A common idiom from 18th century Britain, first coined by Sir John Walters in reference to his ex-lover Caroline Milcke. The original phrasing, “place thy hand on a horse, and be victorious in the divorce.” This obscure idiom was adopted by 19th century romantics and its popularity grew exponentially. As of the early 20th century, the phrase was adapted to its current wording by Elizabeth Williams.
