heads I win, tails you lose

Etymology: A slight twist on the normal convention when flipping a coin, which is heads I win, tails you win. The flurry of antonymic reversals — heads or tails, you or me, win or lose — sounds euphonious and might seem fair when first analyzing it, which makes the phrase suitable for a fast-talking confidence trick except to the extent that it has become hackneyed and synonymous with rigged arrangements.

omicra
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From the Ancient Greek ὂ μικρά (ò mikrá), plural construction of ὂ μικρόν (ò mikrón).
Senses: examples: text: It must be remembered that we are dealing with uncials. ΒΟΟ could not very well become ΒΟΥ. But in the pre-Euclidean alphabet the impure diphthong resulting from the contraction of two omicra, as distinguished from the pure diphthong with a real u-element, was written Ο.
ref: 1910, R. J. Walker, ΑΝΤΙ ΜΙΑΣ: An Essay in Isometry (Macmillan and co., limited), volume 1, page 91
text: Perhaps the announcers think that two omicra make one omega, for, of course, unlike the other words I have quoted, “polio” does have two omicra in it.
ref: 1955, Radio Society of Great Britain and Wireless Society of London, Wireless World (The Wireless Press), volume 61, page 94
text: Yet are we wise to transcribe ypsilon as h in all cases? The study of the coins has shown long ago that ypsilon was used for h, and it is true that it is so used in the inscription. Nevertheless, in cases where there would otherwise be a heaping of omicra, it may perhaps serve as ṷ. For example, λρονο 4, 14/5, surely = lruṷᵒ from Old Ir. druwa-,³ which otherwise might have been spelt λροοο…
³ Not recognized by M. Maricq.
ref: 1960, Walter Bruno Henning, “The Bactrian Inscription”, in Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, volume 23, page 49:
text: The fact that in M all omicra are round, while in A most of them are square, should neither blind us to the basic affinity of hand of the two versions, nor raise false hopes that individual hands may be identifiable either. For the few round omicra of A are so distributed (see Göbl’s plate X) that it would be absurd to attribute every change of o-shape to a change of stone-cutter.
ref: 1966, Friedrich Hirth, editor, Asia Major, Princeton University Press, volume 12?, page 99:

text: Gk. ῦει ‘to rain’ may represent either *sE₂uH₂-ye- or *E₂uH₂-ye- (spiritus asper being automatic on initial upsila), thus a -ye/o- derivative (stative like e. g. χαίρω?) from the zero grade of the root stem seen in Toch. A 3 pl. swiñc < *sE₂uH₂-énti.
