loser n.

An unexpectedly bad situation, program,
programmer, or person. Someone who habitually loses. (Even
winners can lose occasionally.) Someone who knows not and knows
not that he knows not. Emphatic forms are `real loser', `total
loser', and `complete loser' (but not **`moby loser', which
would be a contradiction in terms). See luser.
