Ik heb altijd aangenomen dat het betekent:</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
"Er was laatst een meisje kwijt, vermist, verloren."</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Het woord "loos" is dan ook verwant met verloren, verliezen.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

Beste allen,<br>
Ik vraag mij af of "meisje loos" betekent: meisje zonder man" (zou het dan<br>
niet "manloos" moeten zijn?).<br>
Loos betekent: onnozel, onwetend ...<br>
We kennen trouwens ook het liedje: "Het loze vissertje", een visser die<br>
vrij<br>
onschuldig en onwetend is.<br>
Ik denk ook aan: loos alarm: vals alarm.<br>
Bij ons, in het Oostends, gebruiken wij loos nog in die betekenis, maar<br>
pejoratief, dus eerder: dwaas, onverstandig.<br>
E loozn = een dwaze kerel!<br><br>
Een meisje loos = een meisje zonder ervaring.<br></div>

<div> </div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman">as to "Heiopei" being modestly popular among
teens, that has been so since I was a teen (and should, considering the speed of
teen slang change, have changed by now :-)), and "Heiopei" then meant something
like "guy" in all nuances of character. It was perhaps connected with a nice
comic then emerging and still to be found on the Web (<a href="http://www.familie-ahlers.de/cartoons/haiopeis.html" target="_blank">http://www.familie-ahlers.de/cartoons/haiopeis.html</a>,

Th comic is based on the pun Hei = Hai (= shark). Its setting is completey
unterwater. </font></div>
