Today at lunch, myself and 7 co-workers went out to lunch.  At the other side of the table from me, a conversation started when one of the guys began discussing what he would do with the $204million just recently won in our states lottery, and how "BALLER" each of these acts would be.  

Not only am I unfamiliar with exactly what this means, but I was shocked as to the things people were suggesting.  One suggestion was "driving down the freeway in a ferarri with the top down in the rain - just to prove a point."  Others included wearing jackets made of $100 bills, ordering a skee-ball machine for your home, and building a sofa out of x-box consoles.  

I want to know your thoughts.  What exactly does "BALLER" mean to you?  and what would you do with $200million?

Am I missing the boat by thinking that a super-huge ball pit (like the ones at chuck-e-cheese) would fit this category?

I believe the definition of Baller is "Huge Idiot".

a baller is someone who picks their nose, then rolls it into a little ball before flicking it.

 Nutbutter, it's funny to me that when you have that problem, if only it produced a few more obscure characters, I'm sure that you would be over the limit and get the "Wow you had a lot to say" warning.  



  However, if you are doing it for the orbs, you are WAY smarter than all the rest of us... because it seems to always kill.



(when you do it)  



 Must be the delivery!

I have finally come to the conclusion that I am to old to still be dignified whilst using contemporary slang, except in an obviously ironic context.  Since the majority of today's slang comes out of the African-American, ghetto or prison milieu, and I have no experience in these areas except for single nights in lockup and one year in a cockroach infested Latino-owned illegal basement apartment, I really have no business speaking the language (so to speak).

I would never win $200 million in the lottery because I don't buy lottery tickets.  I'd just get myself into trouble with that kind of money.

Plus, anyone who knows how to a) spell "milieu" and b) use it correctly in a sentence*, would automatically be excluded.

*And here I am thinking, of course, of Barack Obama, in addition to Mr. Whistler Christ.
