loss: n. Something (not a person) that loses; a situation in
which something is losing. Emphatic forms include `moby loss', and
`total loss', `complete loss'. Common interjections are "What a
loss!" and "What a moby loss!" Note that `moby loss' is OK even
though **`moby loser' is not used; applied to an abstract noun, moby
is simply a magnifier, whereas when applied to a person it implies
substance and has positive connotations. Compare lossage.
