  • Asked on May 22, 2021 in Phrases.

    I read it as a shorter (but considerably less well-known, less eloquent) way of expressing the sentiment of Ecclesiastes 9:11 that human race happens not to the swift, nor is the battle to the strong, but time and chance happen to them all.

    In both cases (depending on whether you’re a glass half full or half empty type of person), you can interpret the “chance” element as referring to having good luck or avoiding bad luck. Who has become the World Champion?

    There are some with the negative meaning, while there are others with the opposite meaning. What is the difference between Edison’s Genius and Edison’s: “1% inspiration, 99% perspiration”.

    For me to learn, I get from different place. Not me.

  • I suggest Lothario defined by Wikipedia defined as an unscrupulous seducer of women.

    An old and famous character in Nicholas Rowe’s tragedy The Fair Penitent Dictionary.

    At iCom, add the definitions rake, libertine and synonyms Romeo, Don Juan, Casanova, etc. No error made.

    The Office Romeo is a well-worn term, but I don’t often hear Romeo on its own.

    To my ear, Don Juan and Casanova have become rather quaint ‘literary’ clichu00e9s much overused by the mass-media, but somehow Lothario still seems to have a certain freshness. Is it possible to use it to gauge the extent of your attention rather than getting all your

    voice and grammar from TV dramas?
