win

1. vi. To succeed. A program wins if no unexpected conditions arise, or
(especially) if it is sufficiently robust to take exceptions in stride. 2.
n. Success, or a specific instance thereof. A pleasing outcome. So it turned
out I could use a lexer generator instead of hand-coding my own pattern
recognizer. What a win! Emphatic forms: moby win , super win , hyper-win
(often used interjectively as a reply). For some reason suitable win is also
common at MIT, usually in reference to a satisfactory solution to a problem.
Oppose lose ; see also big win , which isn't quite just an intensification
of win.
