An expression of pure (and often surprising) triumph in the face of irritable and formerly formiddable opposition, especially from inanimate objects, concepts, or unpleasant circumstances. The speaker is meant to use their own name, aptly announcing their success to the world around them in a nonbiased way.
"(name) wins!" applies in a variety of circumstances:
(kelly struggles over astrophysics, aggressively punching numbers into calculators. hours pass and equations dance tauntingly in her head. kelly finally finishes problems with a flourish of the pencil): kelly wins!
(amanda sees bottle of patron on impossibly high shelf. books, people and other pieces of furniture are employed in attempt to reach this last remaining liquor. bottle successfully knocked into outstretched hands): amanda wins!
(nicola loses cell phone for days. room and house are torn to bits causing mess on national-disaster scale. cellphone is eventually located at bottom of stinky hamper): nicola wins!!
(jana spends hours convincing the french to let her into their country. paperwork and red tape abounds from the country that invented bureaucracy. a visa is at last obtained): jana wins!!!

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
