A Fortnite quote referring to the OG gangs making the OG season of Fortnite less sweaty.
Another day, another victory for the og's. Taking down the sweats. Imposter among us.
A win for everybody that was never really a win for anybody, since at least one person, if not everybody, lost something to the machine/system, or someone that was part of the machine/system. Disney was/is a master of Machiavellian principles, since people feel like they gain something by waiting in a line at Disneyland/Disney World for 45 minutes of their time instead of an hour of their time. Really it's Disney that gains from this, since people think Disney has a real concern for their families, and not for the Disney reputation and lost dollar signs that would come with any damage to the Disney reputation.
It would be a Machiavellian Victory if one of the two buildings was demolished, or if 4 or 5 of your 10 neighbors homes burned to the ground and yours didn't, you feel like you kept or even gained something by not losing everything, but half of your neighborhood is lost forever and half your neighbors lost everything. So, a Machiavellian victory is when people feel like everybody won because they didn't lose everything, when really just one person or entity actually gained/benefitted from what actually hzppened. Really most wars have casualties, so they are Machiavellian victories if your country doesn't lose a war, since somebody somewhere still lost a family member. Life is a matter of what you lose and not what you win or gain.
The act of teabagging one's friend over the eyes after beating them in competition.
I beat Chuck at Madden, then knocked him down and gave him a victory curtain!
When a victorious person grabs the front of their shirt and pulls in a quick motion.
Luke was winning in cards all night. He ended every victorious round with a victory pull!
a brazen declaration of victory full-well knowing you lost
originated from Pete Buttigieg’s celebration of a victory in the 2020 Iowa caucus, before the results that he had not won had come out
“He came 3rd”
“Wtf? He’s telling everyone he won!”
“Ugh, he’s declaring a Pete victory?”
A “sideways victory” is an expression that describes an accomplishment that the popular opinion may not fully recognize, but an accomplishment which those who can adjust their perspectives may see the value in. Imagine; the letter V sideways may look like < , > , ^ , or even another angle. In order to see it in the upright position, you must either turn your head or the screen/paper you are reading on.
Similarly, in life, some circumstances or wins may not seem desirable or victorious from one perspective, but upon shifting your mindset, you may begin to see the victory in the circumstance or win. A sideways victory is a situation that you may not originally be able to see the good in, but after some thought or a shift in perspective, begin to notice the positive in.
When the pizza delivery arrived, Kelly noticed that they had gotten the toppings wrong.
“We ordered chicken and bacon. This is sausage and bacon… What’s up with that pizza place?” Kelly said to her roommate Winona, who had ordered the pizza. Kelly was upset at first that their order wasn’t delivered correctly.
“They were out of chicken when I ordered, so I asked for sausage instead.” Said Winona. “It’s not exactly what we wanted, but they gave us some coupons for a free pizza next time and some free cheesy bread sticks.”
“That’s kind of nice I guess. Sausage isn’t so bad and next time we’ll get the chicken for free. I like cheesy bread. A sideways victory.” Said Kelly.
After thinking about it, Kelly decided that the sausage and bacon pizza was still good despite being different from what she expected, and that the coupons and free bread were enough to make up for the pizza place’s lack of chicken. It was a sideways victory, but a victory nonetheless.
When you absolutely own someone and even though you win the argument you still don't get to do what you wanted to do for a completely different reason, but you can still go away with a smug feeling. Just to rub it in their faces you could shout Shame at them and rub your two pointing fingers together at them.
There is a normal queue and a fast track queue for zorbing.
Zorb Operator: All people in pink shirts please go to the back of the normal queue because your fast-track time has expired.
Peeps in Pink Shirts: No, I'll get my Mum on you!
Mum: Let them have a go now!!
Zorb Operator: No...
You: Shame (do the shame gesture)
Zorb Operator: Actually it's too windy now so you'll all have to go home...
You leave annoyed that you didn't get a go but very smug that you completely owned those pink people...
Pink Victory!
