The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
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)
