przegrywaprzegra

Przegrywaprzegra is a Polish internet term and meme used to describe a person who habitually loses in competitive contexts, such as video games, sports betting, or online arguments. The word is a portmanteau built from the verbs przegrywać and przegrać, both meaning "to lose," and it is often used in a playful or self-deprecating way. In online communities it can function as a nickname or username, and may appear in memes, captions, or comments that reference a streak of defeats or an unlucky run.

The exact origin is uncertain, but the construction reflects a broader trend in Polish online culture of creating compound expressions to convey character traits or memes quickly. Usage tends to be informal and humorous rather than clinical; it can be applied to an individual or used as a generic label for a fictional character. It can also serve as social bonding, acknowledging shared experiences of defeat and perseverance. Variants and related forms include przegrywać, przegrać, and shorter memes like przegrywa or przegrał, depending on grammatical context. The term is most common in gaming and streaming circles and is part of a broader family of self-deprecating memes in Polish online language.
