    “Third Time Lucky”
    It can have either of the two following meanings depending on the context of the sentence/s.

    a) Lucky for the third time. ( = Lucky, three times in a row.)
    b) Lucky on the third time. (= lucky once, after being unlucky two times in a row.)

    I guess that's why you chose "twostep" for a nickname!
