All Balled Up
So, Storm Waters comes out next week from Fairwood press, and since it’s set in Los Angeles in 1934, I thought I’d post a slang term from the period every day until the book is out. So let’s start with something that might be appropriate, considering that tomorrow is Election Day in the USA:
All balled up: (v) confuse; make a mess of; get something wrong. Eg: “You got it all balled up!”
Because no matter how this election goes, someone will claim it was all balled up. Whatever else you do, don’t ball up your chance to vote!
