  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  winnitude  /win'*-t[y]ood/  n.  The  quality  of  winning  (as 
  opposed  to  {winnage},  which  is  the  result  of  winning).  "Guess  what? 
  They  tweaked  the  microcode  and  now  the  LISP  interpreter  runs  twice  as 
  fast  as  it  used  to."  "That's  really  great!  Boy,  what  winnitude!" 
  "Yup.  I'll  probably  get  a  half-hour's  winnage  on  the  next  run  of  my 
  program."  Perhaps  curiously,  the  obvious  antonym  `lossitude'  is  rare
