A snarky version of "You win some, you lose some." Popularized during the 2010 Olympics when Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21-year-old Georgian luger, was killed in a training crash. The video was widely distributed and fairly explicit, as he crashed into a steel pillar at nearly 90mph. The event spawned numerous internet memes.

Canadian Olympic Committee Chair: We have roughly 1/3 the medals of the USA. We are tied with South Korea, a country that does not technically have a winter.
PM: Well, "You win some, you luge some."

The original phrasing, “place thy hand on a horse, and be victorious in the divorce.” This obscure idiom was adopted by 19th century romantics and its popularity grew exponentially. As of the early 20th century, the phrase was adapted to its current wording by Elizabeth Williams.
