We have what seems like a good sense above this, but I'm not convinced there's a "A loser." sense independent of the more specific sense; even if there is, I doubt it's that general.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:42, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Would make a good word of the day, when verified. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:36, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

The first sense would seem much harder to verify successfully, given the number of attributes in the definition. MWOnline, for example, has a much briefer definition and also has the wit to use "or" instead of "and": "a timid, meek, or ineffectual person". DCDuring TALK 00:27, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Sense deleted. I have moved the ambiguous citation provided up to the remaining sense. bd2412 T 00:54, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
