deserves to lose adj.

[common] Said of someone who willfully does the [Wrong Thing]; humorously, if one uses a feature known to be [marginal]. What is meant is that one deserves the consequences of one's [losing] actions. "Boy, anyone who tries to use [mess-dos] deserves to [lose]!" ([ITS] fans used to say the same thing of [Unix]; many still do.) See also [screw], [chomp], [bagbiter].
