Spare: verb. To succeed, but only partially. In other words, to succeed at some goal, but not completely, rather only achieving a certain part of the goal. This word comes from bowling terminology, where a
spare is known as the knocking down of all ten pins in the second shot of a frame. The word has taken on this meaning in the earlier part of the 22nd century, where it became commonly used in the canteens of the Moldovian Empire.
