Gutter-balls are bad
I think everyone can agree that in bowling a gutter-ball is a bad thing.
Yesterday as I celebrated several gutter-balls at the alley with my coworkers, I wondered how a rut and a groove can have such drastically different connotations.
I am sure you have heard the expression,
"After he graduated school, he got into a rut. Then later that year, he got into a groove."
Was Louie up, then down; or down then up?
