Loser Boy, Part II

I find it very relaxing to solve crossword puzzles - I'm a junkie. It's a great way to learn new words. I created a puzzle for entertainment purposes. The title (and theme) of the puzzle is Sounds Familiar.


Nick can't pick up his son tomorrow morning because he is having 'car troubles' ... sound familiar? I will babysit George tomorrow night and Patricia will watch him on Tuesday.

I looked up the word 'loser' in the Merriam Webster Dictionary:


Los·er [loo-zer]
noun
1. a person, team, nation, etc., that loses
2. Informal -
a. a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor or, especially, a felony
b. a person who has failed at a particular activity: a loser at marriage.
c. someone or something that is marked by consistently or thoroughly bad quality, performance, etc.
3. Slang - a misfit, especially someone who has never or seldom been successful at a job, personal relationship, etc.

Sample Sentence: What a loser!

Then, I looked up the word 'loserboy' in the Urban Dictionary:

Los·er·boy [loo-zer-bo-e]
noun
1. A fellow ATG clan glitcher who's glitch skill level is higher than that of the average glitcher. If you wish to be graced by his presence, go to an ATG game on "Tony Hawk's Underground 1".
2. An extremely good glitcher who is represented by the ATG clan

Sample Sentence: "Woh look at that Loserboy - he is the best glitcher, lets go ask him how he does it."
