The act of spending money at a great loss to the consumer, but still a tremendous win for both the seller and the buyer.
Interviewer- "Charlie i heard you were wasting a lot of your money at a clothes store this weekend. Is it true you bought a bowling shirt for 800 dollars?"
Charlie- "Yes, but i like my shirt so i would say i wasn't wasting my money but i was buy-winning."

Get the Buy-winningmug. Involves periods of elevated or irritable moods, alternating with periods of depression. 99.99% of the world's population calls this bi-polar disorder. The other 0.01% (aka- Charlie Sheen) call this "bi-winning".

Get the Bi-winningmug. Hym "Nonono Sam. That... That's not how it works. You win AT anything. You SAY you're winning and then you ARE doing that... Right? Because you ARE doing the things you say... Always... So if you say 'I am a woman' then you ARE a woman... And if you say 'I am winning' you are winning... So... Yeah... I'm winning! I won the thing! It was dope too, you should have seen it! I was all 'WAAAATAAAAHHH!!!' and it was a critical hit and I did like 9,999 damage... And then I won... I'm good at this!"

Get the Winningmug. When you voluntarily lose (to make someone feel better, to end an argument), and then the situation gets even worse. So, what you thought you would gain by losing on purpose is lost anyway.

I let my spouse win the argument to calm down the situation, and now I’m getting criticized for not sticking up for myself. I can’t win for losing!

Get the Can’t win for losingmug. Rare situation where a seemingly no-win scenario is reframed, redefined and represented, usually through the adjustment of multiple rules sets, until a greater than believed solution appears whereby all parties experience a more than satisfactory outcome provided they can recognize it.

Get the For The Win+Win+Winmug. A buffer interjection of comic relief to be used at a proper time when one sees a friendly group conversation starting to turn awry. A seemingly innocent question that the group then engages in and forgets their ill-intended and possibly meaningless aggression and attempt to answer a simple non-meaningful question.
Bill (heated): I'm telling you, Johnny. You can't be pro-abortion, anti-Isreal, pro-union and a feminist at the same time.
Johnny: Bill, so you're saying that I have no rights to the 2nd amendment, be against child labor laws, while being a card-carrying member of the IRA?

Bill: It's gotta be the Chiefs this year.
Johnny: No way! It's the Bills, man!
