How would you say 'Total loser' in latin
I am an author and want to know how you would correctly say "total loser" in Latin. Online translations vary a lot. I've had totus perdendum, and victus totalis so far. But what is the correct way of saying it--as in you are a 'total loser'?This clearly is not for learning English, but there is a glitch in the categorization on italki!

Well, the stumbling block is that "you are a loser" is somewhat figurative in English. We use it to mean that person is generally useless and not worth our time.
"Totus perdendum" is dog Latin. If that's the effect you want, then go for it! "Vinctus totalis" is something closer to "totally beaten (person)". Still, if that's what you want then use that.
The best thing I can advise is to find a suitable English synonym for "loser" ("a failure"?), and see what translations seem best.
