Maybe I missed it.

Is there any reason why lose has become loose in the forums?

There's a lot of loose talk in the forums.


Now, if I said 'War is war, loosers' do you think any one would notice? Unlikely.

But what can you do, except call them plonkers?

Oh, no, I didn't. I expected a witty remark (from Bowmann? Ho ho).

Well, spelling and grammar actually mean quite a bit in the real world. Example, you write Resumay instead of Resumé on your job application, (or job applicashun, depending which side of the fence you are on) it will matter quite a bit.

Loser.

I would (I can't help it).

You could call them dotterels or chrisoms for a change. The word "plonker" was new to me when you started using it, but due to overuse it aged very fast, and now it's really old.

I do like that word chrisom.

I don't know what it means, but I'm going to adopt it.

chrisom n.

1 In full chrisom-cloth, chrisom-robe, etc. A child’s white robe at Christian baptism, used as a shroud if he or she died within a month. Now Hist. ME.

2 In full chrisom-child, chrisom-babe, etc. A child that is less than one month old; a child that died at less than a month, or before baptism; gen. an infant, an innocent. ME.


I don't see how this could be a substitute.

While it hurts me deeply to agree with you, I think "plonker" is a perfectly acceptable, non-moddable (modable???) insult.
