Loot

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Loot has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Good Hang with Amy Poehler (Dec 2025).

Looting is the act of stealing, or the taking of goods by force, typically in the midst of a military, political, or other social crisis, such as war, natural disasters, or rioting. The proceeds of all these activities can be described as booty, loot, plunder, spoils, or pillage. Throughout history, the practice of war looting was often considered a customary right of victorious armies until the development of modern international humanitarian law.
