A quick definition of loophole:

Term: LOOPHOLE

Definition: A loophole is a way to avoid following a rule without breaking it. It's like finding a secret path that lets you get around a barrier. For example, in taxes, there are some special rules that let you pay less money legally. These are called tax loopholes.

A more thorough explanation:

A loophole is a way to avoid a rule without breaking it. It's like finding a secret passage that lets you get around the law. Loopholes are often found in legal documents, like tax codes.

Let's say there's a law that says you can't bring outside food into a movie theater. But there's a loophole that says you can bring in food if it's for medical reasons. So, if you bring in a bag of chips and say they're for your low blood sugar, you're using the loophole to get around the rule.

Another example is a tax loophole. The government might have a rule that says you have to pay a certain amount of taxes on your income. But there might be a loophole that lets you deduct certain expenses from your income, so you end up paying less taxes. This is legal, but some people might think it's unfair.

These examples show how a loophole can be used to get around a rule without breaking it. It's important to remember that not all loopholes are bad or illegal, but they can be controversial.
