It's an insult favoured by small children and, tellingly, the President of the United States .
That said, most parents probably don't want their two-year-old branded a "loser" on their birthday of all days.
Sadly for mum Melin Jones, this is the situation she was confronted with after a bit of a mix-up with her daughter's birthday cake .
However, despite being presented with a cake that clearly referred to her as a "loser", little Liz still had the best reaction.
Explaining what had happened on Facebook , Melin revealed that she'd called up their local Walmart when ordering the cake.
"Liz's nickname is Lizard. I got her a cake at Walmart & asked the lady to write 'happy Birthday Lizard'.
"I did not look at it. Don't ask me why. As I'm unloading the car I look quickly at it and notice the lady didn't hear 'Lizard' she heard loser."
Accompanying her account of what happened was a photo of a VERY underwhelmed Liz staring, unimpressed at her cake.
Of course, little Liz can't read yet and, as Melin, who found the whole thing hilarious, says "our 2 year old child wouldn't know what a loser is."
The cake fiasco actually happened in September 2018, Melin told Fox News , and the funny photograph was originally shared on a Facebook group called Sad Sales.
Melin deleted it as she was worried the Walmart employee would get in trouble, and has recently shared it again.
