According to The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, it means "a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head." And to be "looseleft" is to have that "sense of loss upon finishing a good book." But you know the great thing about creative reference books like this one? Once finished, you can always open a random page and savor a definition again. Truly enjoyable! -Melody
