losing a mowing in plants vs zombies is basically ego death because of how easy the game is, so losing a mower is ego death of the highest extreme.
" I'd rather die than lose a mower"
"Death or mower loss"
When you voluntarily lose (to make someone feel better, to end an argument), and then the situation gets even worse. So, what you thought you would gain by losing on purpose is lost anyway.
It’s a colloquial equivalent to paving the road to hell with good intentions.

When you lose so much or so badly that it begins to spread to those around you.
Tim sucks so bad at picking football winners, he's spreading the residue of losing to the rest of us.
1. Think of something you know you need to do, but that you don't want to do.
2. Stop waiting and go do it.
3. Don't listen to me.
4. Don't let me tell you what to do.
5. Do what you want.
And that's an example of a lose-lose win-win.
