loss
     
         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}.
