ルーサー; ルーザー、負け犬、敗者
If you're looking for the comparative form of adjective "loose", it is pronounced "ルーサー" (ruusaa).
But, I think you may be misspelling the word. If you're looking for the person who has lost (a game or something), it would be "ルーザー" (ruuzaa). It is "負け犬" (make inu; literally meaning "lost dog") or "敗者" (haisha).

1. We cannot blame the asker. 2. Non-members often give specific information. In fact, some use this place as a dictionary. 3. However, we still have to answer questions sincerely.

いいかげん or あいまい or 適当
If the word was the comparative degree of"loose", there would be a possibity of translating it as the above."適当"means not "suitable" but "irresponsible" etc.in this case.
