Sucking so hard at something that's kind of important, but you're too lazy to care because you know you're still gonna win.

I got a D+ on my history quiz but still said I ‘aced it’ because I’m a lying fraud.

I lost the dance-off but said it was a 'tactical retreat' because I’m too proud to admit I sucked.

My dog tried to run the marathon and collapsed at mile 3, but I still called it a 'victory lap'.
