"Lose (one's) edge" = Mất đi sự sắc bén -> Không còn kỹ năng đặc biệt, mất đi ưu thế hoặc giá trị của mình như lúc trước.

Ví dụ
Charity, in particular, is a character who could never lose her edge and so is destined to make mistake after mistake. And our ‘Nessa is no doormat and shouldn’t have to put up with it by default (ngầm định, mặc định). In order for them both to learn lessons about one another – including what life is like without each other, faults and all – a split was inevitable (không tránh được) at some point.

Zoe will be ecstatic (trạng thái mê ly, ngất) over Theo’s decision to include her, but Kyle will insist Theo’s using her to mess with him. Even so, Zoe will just be glad Theo’s jumpstarting (mồi khởi động) her career. Afterward, Summer will express concern to Theo about his continued feud (mối hận thù) with Kyle. Theo will contend that he just doesn’t want Kyle to lose his edge, but Summer won’t buy that. She’ll think it seems more like Theo wants to destroy Kyle and Lola’s marriage.

I take .5–5g Schisandra every now and then if I am stressed. I experience significantly lower levels of stress and higher levels of relaxation. Schisandra amps up my creativity, probably thanks to its relaxing effects. It potently improves my attention span and patience (sự kiên nhẫn). Schisandra works very well for me; it slightly enhances my mood and is great for mitigating (làm dịu bớt) anxiousness and stress induced by Caffeine or other stimulating (kích thích) nootropics (thuốc hưng trí). If I take too much (6+ grams) I can become drowsy (uể oải, thẫn thờ) and lose my edge/motivation.
