loss of individuality

when conformist ideas turn you or the general population into the same person. poser brands can cause this. also when people act like they are tough shit just to be cool. people who have suffered a loss of individuality most often don't know. they are being cool and fitting in with the general population. this concept is generally found in high schools.

dude, that guy wearing the Srh jacket doesnt even smoke pot he is just trying to fit in with his friends what a complete loss of individuality.

swallow a loss

When a business undercharges thier customers, more often than not they wish to save face by detracting the loss from their profit, and
"swallow" it.

We've undercharged by a little bit, so we'll swallow a loss.

Loss of words

A phrase used as an excuse to not say anything. Typically used to politely not talk to "friends" you actually don't want to be friends with.

Person 1: Why don't you ever talk to me anymore? Do you not want to be my friend?
Person 2: Sorry, I've been at a loss of words lately.

statement loss

The opposite of a 'statement win' in sports: a defeat so bad it proves how bad a team really is, especially a team previously thought to be not so bad.

Yeah, I'd say losing by 31 points to the Panthers qualifies as a statement loss.
