In sports talk, being on the schneid means you're locked in a losing streak — nothing's going right, the wins aren't coming, and the bad luck just keeps stacking up. Coaches and commentators reach for this one when a team can't seem to break through. Getting off the schneid is the sweet relief of finally snapping that streak with a hard-earned win.
The team finally got off the schneid last night with a comeback win after losing eight straight.
