Informal contraction of computer software Windows
We need to win this game or die trying!
It was a win for both of us, because we both got what we wanted.
When an action is done that is so mind boggling Win, one must stand off to the side, and give a round of applause. Most common when someone completes a task at over NINE THOOOOOOUUUSSSAAAAND!
Jack: Hey, I need you to hack the CIA. Mila: Alright!
**FIVE HOURS LATER**
Mila: Well, I did it...
Jack: Good, good, what did you do to them?
Mila: I actually hacked the Chinese so they would think that the CIA hacked them. Thus causing a third world war.
Jack: You miss, are made of Win. I applaud you.
originally used as a normal word in phrases such as "we win the championship" "I will win this trophy" etc. But since the rise of online gaming, it has been used more and more out of context, and has developed into a nerd slang term.
Instead of using proper grammar, these geeks say "win" every time they see something funny or amusing. (See example).
I do not know how this is a "cool" word, but like I previously said, it's nerd lingo.
