A human is never described as loose when going about its business, and yet many are clearly on the 'Loose'.

Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.
Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.)
"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system."
...
The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).
The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).
"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.

Monkey is IN Las Vegas!
Well, a friend has joined you. Bet it’s a Rhesus Monkey, on the way to take a government job ...
That monkey has been all over the news this morning. And mostly, the folks talk about the smell...
I promise not to take my shoes off on my next flight to Vegas.
W00t!!!
You snagged it!
I waited, but there was nobody there ...

Yes, as it was very small, about 8”, but smelly, so I guess he is looking for a government job. To take away from those with less nimble fingers.
Yes, Moosie, that. ;o]
It came from Ohio....
I suppose that depends on the business, but your general point about the speciesist use of language is noted.
LoL....
:D
I was very tired after my little sleep last night, so I went in to lie down after my last post. And here I am. *yawn* After almost two hours.
Epic Fail Lawn Service with a Latino Accent is here, now, and I think that’s what woke me up. It took them over seven hours last week, as they had to keep going back over the dame areas. Bah. Humbug.
I got to reading about the new printer, and I had no idea Epson was a subsidiary of Seiko. Excellent! Maybe I’ll do some scanning this morning. I’m not feeling all that well at the moment, but maybe it’s because I just woke up.
I arranged the music for next Sunday and sent the words to the old guy who puts them on video monitors. Then I talked to DP’s stepmother for over half an hour. Then I texted Asuncion to see if we can practice viernes, which is not tomorrow.
“Quidditch team to Holding position Delta ,via 24-Right, Immediately, Over.”
I can see her coming in! Ready to hose it down.
Had dozen plus blue boiler suited Africans hanging off it as it careened around the apron. A variant of the clown car in Dumbo.
OoooH, Look at the sporty lines on that beauty!
British registration number on a French EU plate....odd.
OK, I’m scheduled on a Delta flight for Friday afternoon returning Sunday.
Delta ... prayers will be welcome.
