fair weather capitalists

Those bunch of socialist and communist types who are OK with CEO's receiving multi-million-dollar severance packages plus bonuses when times are good, but who whine, complain and carry on and on when tha same things go on during bad times.

We are being inudated with fair weather capitalists in a snit over this AIG bonuses affair!

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.

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.
