hey i've been hearing people saying "loose" like to lose something, now is it just a JOKE word or a REAL word? cuz i know what loose means but not to "loose" a battle like for example a loose cat now that's loose.
hope someone could help me with this.

As far as I know now, I think most people are confusing "lose" and "loose"

For the people who are wondering about the right way of using "lose "and "loose" (like myself), here we go...

Outline:
Lose ten pounds or loose ten pounds? What is it that you really want to do? If you lose the ten pounds, then we won't be able to find them. That would be a good thing. But if you loose the ten pounds, you set them free to roll about like a tumbleweed. Ten pounds on the loose would not be a good thing.

- LOSE means to lack the possession of, to come to be without.
- LOOSE means not tight.
- LOOSEN means to unfasten something or make it less constraining.

Examples:
- The hockey team doesn't want to lose the game.
- The girl had such a bad sunburn that she could only wear loose clothes.
- Set the dog loose. Don't tie him up again.
- I am so frustrated! I always seem to lose my keys.
- Loosen your hold on the bat. You are gripping it much too tightly!
