短语

释义与例句

phr.
  1. 1.

    Said to describe a conflict in which someone has a particular advantage from the start.

词源

A slight twist on the normal convention when flipping a coin, which is heads I win, tails you win. The flurry of antonymic reversals — heads or tails, you or me, win or lose — sounds euphonious and might seem fair upon first hearing, which makes the phrase suitable for a fast-talking confidence trick except to the extent that it has become hackneyed and synonymous with rigged arrangements.
