   winnitude /win'*-t[y]ood/ n.   The quality of winning (as
   opposed to {winnage}, which is the result of winning).   "Guess what?
   They tweaked the microcode and now the LISP interpreter runs twice
   as fast as it used to."   "That's really great!   Boy, what
   winnitude!"   "Yup. I'll probably get a half-hour's winnage on the
   next run of my program."   Perhaps curiously, the obvious antonym
   `lossitude' is rare.
