deserves to lose adj. 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}.
