lossage /los'j/ n. very common 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.
