How it's used

Originally referring to children who refuse to admit defeat in games, this term has evolved to describe anyone who acts dishonorably or reneges on a promise. It carries a strong sense of childishness and lack of integrity. You will often hear it used in casual arguments or when someone is trying to cheat their way out of a consequence.
