<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">deadbeat</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for loser that I've seen before include "Flop" , "one that's been left behind" , "One not winning" , "Defeated competitor" , "sad type?" .)
