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.
