You might remember that sign (a screw on one side and a baseball on the other) from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.Calling someone a screwball means he's acting weird, or just being insane, and I quote this page: The literal meaning of a screw ball comes from baseball when a pitcher throws the ball and makes it curve.
I thought it meant being stupid, but I was wrong...

ReplyDeleteOh, so good thing that stupid is not the same as insane.
ReplyDeleteAs I'm no native english speaker, I often thought about that sign and kept mumbling "screw.... ball.... screwball... dafuk that means?"
There's no baseball in my country. And if there was, I probably wouldn't know it either.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on distinct blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content off their writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d choose to use some with all the content in my small weblog whether you do not mind. Natually I’ll provide a link on your own internet weblog. Many thanks sharing. Login Portal
