Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'Bad' and 'taking'. 'Bad' is an anagram indicator - a neighbouring word will go bad or off and its letters will be disordered. 'taking' could be a containing indicator (some fodder is taking some letters within itself), but here it's a deletion indicator - we are taking something from some fodder, deleting it.
- This clue's fodder is 'loser' and 'loss'. We'll use the letters of loser along with a single-letter substitute for 'loss' to reach our answer. Hint: when you suffer a loss, you "take the ___".
- Our definition here is 'like a bad loser?', and our answer will be a classic description for a bad loser.
