Word of the Week

"This bloke can/could play a bit"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a phrase, not a word, I know. Frankly I'm overstimulated from too much sport, two odd shows at the Sydney Festival (yeah, I try to have interests outside sport) and the prospect of KFC for dinner (hate the commercials, love the grease).
This phrase isn't my original - I'm certain other people have said it at other times in other contests, but I like to use it here on this blog.
Simply put, it is a term of admiration. If I write something like 'X can play a bit' rest assured X was one of the best I saw in their chosen sport. Definitely in the top five.
There is one reason I like using it - this blog is all about superlatives and pumping things up as much as possible, but this phrase is so delightfully understated.
It is a rare moment of literary restraint from yours truly as my industry becomes more shrill.
