Notes on  WIN 

[MIT; now common everywhere]

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.
