🇺🇸 English Expressions: Ballpark ⚾
Hey everyone! 👋 Today’s expression is “ballpark.” 👉 It means an approximate estimate or rough number. When you give a “ballpark figure,” you’re not being exact — just close enough. Origin: This comes from baseball. A ballpark is the stadium where the game is played. The idea is: you’re “in the park” — not exact, but within the right area or range. Over time, it became common in business and everyday speech. Examples: • Can you give me a ballpark figure for the cost? 💵 • The repair will cost $300, ballpark. 🔧 • What’s the ballpark timeline for finishing this project? 📅 Figurative daily-life examples: • I need a ballpark idea of how long this will take. ⏳ • Just give me a ballpark number — it doesn’t have to be exact. • We’re talking 20–25 people, ballpark. 🎉 Now it’s your turn! 💬 Drop your own sentence using “ballpark” below 👇 WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER! 🤝

@Daisy Chan Ballpark --> Somewhere around this number. A rough estimation. << That vintage guitar costs in the ballpark of 10,000. Maybe 9,500, maybe 12,000 >> Give or take --> This exact number with a small margin of error. Plus or minus. << That vintage guitar costs 11,800, give or take 300. Maybe 12,100, maybe 11,500 >>
🎬 Cape Fear Reference?! 😈
@Shane Peterson I think Uncle Leo doing pull-ups in prison definitely has a De Niro in Cape Fear vibe! Although De Niro was doing dips in prison instead of pull-ups 😆
