"Loser" is an English term that appeared in the early 20th century, originally in the context of sports and games to describe someone who fails to win. Over time, its meaning broadened metaphorically to describe a person considered uncool, unsuccessful, or contemptible in life, social situations, or personal endeavors. The term is used in informal, critical, or teasing contexts, often among peers or in popular culture. It is mildly derogatory but not vulgar, intended to criticize or mock someone's perceived failures or shortcomings.
