What, please, is a looser?

aruna · Apr 12, 2007

I came across this word twice online already today, and its not even 8 a.m. yet!
It's not in my dictionary, so I've been hazarding some guesses.
Please help me.

What I want to know, dear aruna... is whether "Manfart" is anything like "ausfahrt".

Someone who can't spell loser. * I win! *

No, you..."loose". Hahahahahahaha...okay, that was sad but I'm easily amused by myself apparently.

looser n. A person of easy virtue; a desperate writer prepared to go to any lengths to see their manuscript published.

My other half said "scheissenfutzen" to me yesterday, I haven't a clue what it means but I took it as a compliment.

That's my next poll.
Why hasn't anyone voted? I am hurt. You're all ignoring me! You're all LOOSERS! WAAAH!

aruna · Apr 12, 2007

OK, I've calmed down. You are not loosers.

poetinahat · Apr 12, 2007

That's a relief! Some of us, however, wouldn't mind being Koosers.

I always thought it was the opposite of tighter.

Guess I was wrong...

Brilliant! That's it! Silly me!

Be damned if I know. I assume it's a typo, but then again, I see it enough... who knows?

Loosers is a term used by a person who is so insecure that they feel they must insult and swear at everyone who fails to recognise their outstanding talent and brilliance. It also indicates a person who cannot spell, nor understand the rules of basic grammar. People who use this word frequently also like to flounce (rather dramatically!)

Ausfahrt= out-fart. Whenever you see this sign on a German motorway, it means you have to fart - audibly. (men AND women)

It's never a typo - unfortunately!

I'm pretty sure it's someone with loose screws or who is unhinged, hence my choice in the poll.

maestrowork · Apr 13, 2007

My mind is in the gutter.

robeiae · Apr 13, 2007

I think Aruna's hinge may have broken...

Everyone talk calmly to her, then back away slowly.

maestrowork · Apr 13, 2007

I think she's just got the jitters about our impending wedding on her new yacht.

Mel · Apr 13, 2007

Morals, especially sexual ones. But, should have read Lack of morals...

Okay, I really just wanted to see another 5 there.

No. I'm just unnerved since you sent me those explicit photos. Ray, how COULD you. I am shocked.
And then that rabid squirrel attack while I was cycling through the woods last Monday.
I'm just not the same any more.
I'm just a looser.

The Scip · Apr 13, 2007

I think I was called a looser recently.

benbradley · Apr 13, 2007

Can I put my manuscript in a lose-leaf binder?

Why is it always the o key that gets repeated? That might then be a typoo, but I wouldn't want to touch THAT keybard!
