Anyone got any idea for the opposite of a cash cow?
We have been using the "anti-cash cow" and even " that word we don't have a word for"
Any Ideas?

The opposite of a cash cow is a money pit.

Too inanimate for a person I think.
Years we have been searching for this term.

I play a bit of Pro Evo soccer on xbox with the lads for money. Beats going to the pub!!- same bunch of lads playing for the last 16 yrs.
2 against 2 or 2 against 1 if we dont have the numbers.

If there happens to be a cash cow during the night, he is not shy about broadcasting it.
It's always funny if there is someone who just can't win - no matter who they are with - hence the need for the term.
If it was also insulting, that would be a bonus.:)
