lossage
/los'▫j/ The result of a {bug} or malfunction. This
is a mass or collective noun. "What a loss!" and "What
lossage!" are nearly synonymous. The former is slightly more
particular to the speaker's present circumstances; the latter
implies a continuing {lose} of which the speaker is currently
a victim. Thus (for example) a temporary hardware failure is
a loss, but bugs in an important tool (like a compiler) are
serious lossage.
