In Northern Ireland and Ireland (at least), a fluke (pronounced flook) is a verb meaning to win against the odds. It can also be used as a noun meaning something won against the odds or someone who wins that way.
Fluke tends to be a positive appreciation of good luck, rather than a denial of the win. It can be used to playfully reject someone's win though, or to be humble about one's own win.

(In appreciation of someone winning): "Whoa, flukey. Well done!"
(In bemused disbelief that someone won a football game): "Jeez, how did you score that goal? You weren't even kicking it right. What a fluke!"
(In happy humility after winning): "Thanks. It was just a fluke really".
(When someone beats you in a game, but you're convinced you'll win next time): "Fluke! Let's go again."
(To tell a story without it seeming boastful): "Well, the whole thing was a fluke really. Back in early Spring, I..."

Get the Fluke mug.
A phrase commonly used in the world of sports. Most commonly refers to a player or event that at first glance seems perfectly legitimate, but upon closer examination is just a steaming pike of fluke trash. In other words, they are a fraud, a joke, a loser, garbage, etc. Some examples of fluke trash in the sports world are the San Francisco Giants 2010 World Series title, Scott Kazmir, Miles Austin, Barry Zito, Rebecca Black, and of course the biggest fluke trash of them all, fatt cain.
Uneducated Fan: Yo dood! Matt Cain is so good! He had a scoreless streak where he averaged 5 innings a start in the playoffs for 3 games! Hooray hes our ace!
Educated Fan: Yawn, his name is Fatt Cain, and he sucks, is not even close to our real ace, Tim Lincecum, and is a fat piece of fluke trash.

Tampa Bay Rays GM circa 2007: Man we really hosed the mets in that scott kazmir deal! Dudes a stud!

A funny old gal in a burka
