you lose

Winner's taunt afterward

You lose is a taunt declaring someone's failure, often gleefully.

It originated in games and competitions but spread to internet culture as a dismissive response to anyone deemed wrong or defeated in an argument.

The phrase can be playful among friends or genuinely mocking: You forgot the rules? You lose!

Nice try, but you lose.
