This means you’ve won the point for the game, the second set and therefore the match as a whole.

By winning by the remarkable margin of 6-0, 6-0, you’ve also forced your opponent to eat two bagels.

Two bagels?

Well, never mind that. I don’t mind inflating your ego and make you feel really good but I won’t keep piling on your poor opponent. Let’s just say you’re really good. You won and did it convincingly. You dominated. So all (sorts of) kudos to you!

See, essentially, that is what it means when someone says: “Game, set and match to you.” It’s usually after you’ve accomplished something and done it with flair and in style.

All right, here are media examples:

1. I have been married for 15 years and I think things have gone pretty well. We have four perfectly acceptable children, we all get along OK, and as husbands go, I’m not a bad lot. I’m loyal, I recognise my wife as a superior human being and I even have the odd moment of unselfishness. (I expect such moments to be verbally recognised and physically rewarded.) My wife stays at home to look after the children because returning to the teaching job she loved was made impossible by the incompatibility of teacher's pay and the cost of childcare. The other option – of me becoming a househusband – was categorically not on the table. I don't mind a bit of gentle hoovering, but I do mind babies. They’re like drunks: incomprehensible, unreasonable and prone to vomit on you. Anyway she loves it, doesn’t she? Well, that’s what I had assumed, until an incident a couple of weeks ago that shocked my smug, complacent, delusional self to the core.
