deserves to lose: adj. [common] Said of someone who willfully
does the Wrong Thing; humorously, if one uses a feature known to
be marginal. What is meant is that one deserves the consequences
of one's losing actions. "Boy, anyone who tries to use mess-dos
deserves to lose!" (ITS fans used to say the same thing of
Unix; many still do.) See also screw, chomp, bagbiter.
