What it sounds like
You won, but you’re acting just as upset as someone who lost.
What it really means
“Your anger makes your victory look petty, so I’m turning your win into another reason to criticize you.”
Said today
“You won and you’re still throwing a tantrum—some winner you are.”
What was happening
Kate has just learned Anthony used their croquet game to help court her sister and feels deliberately made a fool of. As she leaves, he calls her a “sore winner,” using her victory to mock her anger.
