Works very well for the handle "Loser". I'm sure you're familliar with the original namesake, who also fits the handle pretty well.

It doesn't fit the original namesake, the one from the Bible. He started out as the wealthies person around - "He had seven sons and three daughters, and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East." Job 1:2-3. Sure, he had a very nasty low point, but he gets back up "The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys." Job 42:12
