'For the Win!' is a line from a cheesy American game show called Hollywood Squares Comet Sedai Send a noteboard - 11/05/2011 02:04:11 PM
Obviously I don't spend enough time on the internet, which to me means I spend just enough time on the internet.

The former evolved from NSW - not suitable for work.
The latter makes no sense even knowing what the initials stand for. I assume it's a phrase that makes sense to Americans.


Think of itas a forerunner of 'Dancing with the Stars'--only with Tic Tac Toe, instead of Dancing. The celebs sat in nine boxes, like pieces in a tic-toe-board. Two contestants. Each round, a contestant selected a celebrity, and the host asked trivia questions of the celebrity. The contestant could either choose to agree or disagree with the celeb, and if correct, got that 'square'. Like Tic-Tac-Toe, you needed three linked celebrity boxes to win, so for that last person you needed, you said:

"So-and-So For the Win!"
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo.
