Don’t you think that we use way too many sports lingo in our daily conversations, specifically in our business meetings?!
Just think about it: The ball is in your court, don’t drop the ball, get the ball rolling, right off the bat, he doesn’t play ball with us, ballpark figure, keep your eyes on the ball, hands down, go to distance, and the list goes on and on and on, like a boring game of baseball from which most of these expressions have derived!!!
Just to be clear, unless you’re extremely hot, I won’t touch your base, neither you can touch mine! So stop suggesting it! :)
