Member
The opposite of "find" is "LOSE" (pronounced "LUZE").
The opposite of "tight" is "LOOSE" (pronounced "LUCE").
Examples:
"Don't lose your password." (pronounced "Don't LUZE your password.")
"David and Sarah played chess yesterday. David was the winner. Sarah was the loser." [pronounced "LUZER"]
"These trousers are too loose [pronounced "LUCE"]. Can you make them tighter?"
"Now these trousers are too tight. Can you make them looser?" [pronounced "LUCER"]

In order to publicly clarify any potential misinterpretation of my comment "Just for you, mate!" above:
This topic certainly was suggested by @OZApps, and I enthusiastically agreed:

In the presence of everyone, I hereby declare that the "Lose v Loose" topic was suggested by @OZApps, which is why I typed "Just for you, mate!" above. Please note that my comment "Just for you, mate!" does not mean that this thread was provided for @OZApps' education.
Dear everyone,
Don't worry. Be(e) happy. :bz

A news paper was after the mayor and they dug up some dirt on him and his secretary and the next days headlines were, "There's something between the Mayor and his secretary" the mayor being a very important man did not like this so he called up the Editor and demanded that his reputation not be tarnished like this as there was absolutely nothing between him and the secreatary. So the Editor assured that they will clear this matter up. The next day's headlines read "The Mayor has nothing between him and the secretary, not even a piece of paper"
