A semi finalist is the same as being the loser. Go hard or go home.

Finalist is much more accomplishing than “loser.” Don’t ever say that about yourself.

Austin’s soccer team lost in the state championship today. Which means they were the Finalists.
Just now, as I was telling him how proud I am,
@austin2k25 says “Finalist is just a fancy word for loser.”
God I love this kid.

A losing finalist is the biggest loser, you get a medal for it as well, a medal you can never celebrate

Finalist is a way nicer word than loser.
