Just heard this metaphor for the first time when a friend recently gave me topics to write about, she just did a Devon Loch by not letting me keep quiet without scribbling to scramble your already scrambled or clear minds be the way they are.
She could have won it but she failed by kindling my waver-y thoughts.
It is a metaphor to express that you lose all of a sudden from the winning position for no reason, derived from the famous Queen Elizabeth’s horse which lost a race in the last 50 yards, fell flat for no reason in the 50’s.
Prince Charles has been waiting to win the Kings title for long from the Queen; he must have been used to do the Devon Loch and must be a professional in it by now.
Not that I want to see the Queen board a flight of no-return and the Prince take over, well past his retirement age, decades ago. It is now hereditary of this ruling family, William and Harry, learning from their dad doing a Devon Loch.
In cricket we have seen SA doing this in several crunch matches and there it is called choking.
Does it mean if it is an individual you do a Devon Loch and if it is a team you choke to lose from a winning position?
In a family scenario the man keeps doing this and very much used to doing a Devon Loch, as professional as Prince Charles to not choke and become a joke as a family within and outside the family.
Between the spouse and mother he has to practice this skill and do it so gracefully and not make a big fuss and create a commotion and let know the world and bring shame to the family.
As a man I may lose but as a family we win, family interest being primary – I am ready for it and I shall keep doing a Devon Loch.
A fall is a fall and the art is to bounce back and mutter with a smile, the fall wasn't hard as last time, brushing aside the dust and shame accumulated – be gracious gentlemen, these falls are gracious and enjoy doing them, peace and happiness prevails in the family…
Wish all men abundant Devon Loch’s in the year that comes and wish all women recognize their/those gracious falls…
Do a Devon Loch and Lose to Win as a Family…
