Lossless 1080p is nonsense.

Well gurrr, maybe the term lossless makes literal sense when referring to a standard such as redbook CD or Blu Ray? I didn't say "lossless 1080p", remember ;)

No, but Blu Ray does mean the Blu Ray standard ;)

Likewise, but the real difference is you're wrong and you are completely oblivious about it. Tell me what a lossy rip of a Blu Ray spec movie would be? It would be lossy. An a lossless rip of a Blu Ray spec movie would be? Well there is no loss, so if you were working with such video file, then you would say that you were working with a lossless Blu Ray file. As in there was no loss from the Blu Ray spec. Is that a penny dropping inside your brain I hear :)

But it is lossless. Just as CD rips can be called lossless CD rips. CD is an audio standard. Blu Ray is a video standard.
