hat-tricks
Three feats in succession
A hat-trick is three successes in a row, especially three goals by one player in a single game.
The term originated in cricket, where a bowler who took three wickets on consecutive balls was traditionally awarded a hat.
Now used across sports and beyond: She scored a hat-trick in the semifinal.
Landing three new clients was quite the hat-trick.
