brainer

Not a no-brainer.

His video timer is such a brainer that he is leaving it flashing at 12:00 AM.

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.

indoor bullstuff

1. Movie deemed too highfalutin, sophisticated or stuffy to be the right fit in drive-in theaters.
2. Wimpy cigarette lighter that won't fire in even the slightest hurricane.

I have to flick my indoor bullstuff illegally in the doorway before I can take my smoke outside.
