for the win

In gaming parlance, a choice or strategy that should guarantee victory. The phrase comes from the TV game show Hollywood Squares. Contestants choosing a square which would give them 3 in a row would frequently say something like "I'll take Paul Lynde for the win."

Instant Win

A term which originally became popular in the days of Starcraft. It was used to designate a particular strategy or attack which would guarantee victory for whomever was using it. It was often used in conjunction with the popular equation, "Mass Carriers = Instant Win". The strategy of mass-producing the largest aerial unit in the game and using it as the sole attack force remained popular, and later spread into Warcraft 3, where it gained the updated equation, "Mass Wyrms = Instant Win".

Spin-to-win

Spin-to-win refers to a fighting style that relies heavily on rapid spinning movements and rotations of the body, both to increase attack speed/coverage and to discourage enemies from getting too close. Due to its speed, mobility, safety, and effectiveness, it is often used excessively to great effect, hence the "win". This fighting style is often used in tandem with bladed weapons, to turn oneself into a slashing cyclone. Spin-to-win can either refer to a character who is famous/infamous for heavily employing this fighting style, or simply refer to the fighting style itself.

This fighting style is commonly portrayed in video games and fictional media, since its usefulness in real life is almost non-existent, due to the abnormally high amounts of dizziness it would cause.

Cant win em all

This phrase is most commenly used whenever faced with adversity. However, the phrase can also be used as a means to end any trouble one might have. The very phrase itself has spawned a mentality of "who gives a shit", and a basic lack of ambition.
