By calling Zinkoff "loser," like the title, Loser alludes to, the children are informing him of his identity. The nickname is supposed to be a symbol for some ineffable quality, but for Zinkoff, his nickname serves as a symbol for the consequences of being idiosyncratic and different. The nickname symbolizes the cross relationship between normal kids and Zinkoff.
