Murphy's Law of Bolt-Loosening 

"You can heave and strain on da wrench till Doomsday and never get a stubborn bolt loosened, but then just as soon as you ask a stronger --- and probably very busy himself --- person to come and help, DAT'S when da blasted bolt actually WILL yield, either when you give a final demonstrative yank on da wrench to show da second person how supposedly stuck da bolt is, or when he himself hauls back on da wrench and said previously-cranky bolt unscrews with little effort on his part, indicating dat your OWN last tug actually HAD cracked it free after all, and so if you had 'just given it one more go' yourself, you actually COULD have gotten da bolt out on your own, without having to interrupt your now-ears-smokingly-annoyed-at-being-needlessly-called-away colleague in da first place."
I wonder if da inventor of da impact wrench had originally felt prompted to do so due to his having frequently encountered Murphy's Law of Bolt-Loosening???
You never use this word so please spell "losing" correctly from now on.
You mean you are LOSING the war, not LOOSING you idiot!

THANK YOU! In the last 6 months everyone seems to be writing 'loosing'. THE WORD YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS LOSING.
L-O-S-I-N-G. You are losing the match, you are losing your talent, you are losing your virginity! The second definition is wrong, you would say 'loosening'
Newspaper Executive: Cristiano, this is the last straw, 'loosing' is not a word! I'm firing you!

Cristiano Ronaldo: Oh, I didn't know I had to be able to spell to do this job, I guess i'm just an idiot! Haha

The act of capturing, mildly sedating, and throat-fucking a loon.
Dave and I grabbed a 6 pack of Busch and headed down to the lake for some looning. Little fight, no bite.

Lorening 

A very extreme way of describing attention seeking so despret they may spread a rumor about themselves or do weird thing to attract people's attention And be melodramatic on things or just make things up

Gerund form of "loose" (of an arrow). The act of firing an arrow in archery.
So rare as to be unusable. If in any doubt at all, use the word with the spelling and meaning for "losing".
The archer broke his finger as he was loosing the arrow.
