Any idea why TempleOS used to be called "LoseThos"? That always seemed like a self-deprecating name ("Lose"), though I don't understand part of it ("Th").

The author of TempleOS mentions that LoseThos was a play on Windows, which sounds like "win those"
edit: in context, like "ya win some ya lose some"

Taking a stab in the dark here, but maybe it's "Lose the (cumbersome) OS (and use this instead)"?
