a winner is you

Definition

A hilariously broken English phrase from the 1989 Nintendo Pro Wrestling game that's achieved legendary status in gaming culture. This grammatically challenged congratulations message has been adopted by internet denizens to ironically celebrate victories, both real and imaginary. It's the perfect combination of nostalgic gaming jank and meme-worthy awkwardness.

Example Usage

After finally beating that impossible boss fight, my friend messaged me: 'A winner is you!'
