One that doesn't make any sense to me is the when they say that someone is playing really well, they describe the player as "unplayable." The prefix "un" is typically used in a negative way, so if a player were truly unplayable, it stands to reason that person is not playing well in that one shouldn't play him.
On a more positive note, when someone is exhausted, folks like to use the term "knackered." Going by the dictionary, the word is classified as British slang.
However, knacker also is a noun for someone who removes road kill that is not fit for human consumption.
And apparently the word is also a derogatory term for someone from Ireland who is of lower class or from the hood who has a certain look and thick accent. At least that's what I found on Urban Dictionary.
As many times as I see drivers in their cars with their phone in their hands, it's surprising there are not more accidents because of people's addiction to their phones. Dangerous.
Speaking of dangerous: Herschel Walker.
As much as I am happy that Warnock beat Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff, almost half of the Georgians who voted did vote for a candidate who is obviously not fit for serving in the U.S. Senate.
That's a dangerous sign.
