In contract bridge, as well as a number of other card games, spades are the highest-ranking of the four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades.) Thus a bid in spades outranks a bid in hearts. By extension beyond cards, "in spades" expresses a decisive, complete, no-doubt defeat. If I suffer a (real or imagined) injury from you, and I retaliate with disproportionate vigor, I have paid you back "in spades."

An African American alpha female who is confident in all that she does. She exudes a queenly demeanor regardless of who she may encounter. She fixes her crown and never lets herself be degraded. More often than not she is the epitome of black excellence.
Man look at that “ Queen of Spades” over there! Damn she fine.
Look at that beautiful “Queen of Spades”, she is making boss moves too!

Not unlike the current alternative definition for the word 'beard', 'The Kate Spade Handbag' is a metaphor for the use of a person (in this case a man) for the masking of homosexuality. The lesbian in question can sometimes be found engaging in penetrative coitus with their handbag, and will most likely pretend to be in a committed relationship to conceal the fact that she is a raging carpet muncher. Other frequent signs are usually the lack of desire to fellate the handbag's penis and/or the history of previous lesbianism.
David mate you're her Kate Spade handbag, I'm 100% sure your birds a dyke.

The underqualified Member of Parliment in Singapore, Tin Pei Ling who was made infamous not just by her spewing nonsense, but her imatured photo with a Kate Spade present.Later on during the General Election, allegedly flout the regulations but got let off with an insincere apology and pushed the blame to her friend, Denise He. The term refers to an irresponsible and annoying person who is much hated by the public.
Dont be like Kate Spade Tin! You should be more responsible for your actions instead of blaming your co-workers.

This is a situation where someone accomplishes something of little to no value or importance, or fails miserably. Extra bonus points are given if the "accomplishing" party is proud of the non-accomplishment or failure.
As Jimmy stood up from his Quaker oatmeal, he noticed a warm sensation in his pants as he had wet himself. Jimmy laughed and proclaimed with pride, "Oops I earned my spade!"
