Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Ball"

A: I've never heard of this expression before!

A: "Kicking the ball around"? It means to casually hang out. Think of it like you're on a soccer team, and you're normally very serious, but outside of a game/practice when you're having fun with your teammates on the court you won't be paying as much attention and just kick it around wherever.

A: Gosh, it’s weird. Ok.
I just thought that it’s the literal meaning. “You’ll thank me later?” 🤔oh
But anyway, tnx.
Could you also say what if-clause was used here?

A: A ball and chain are associated with prisoners. The chain locks around a prisoner's feet, while the ball is a heavy weight that holds them down. If someone asks, "Am I wearing a ball and chain?" they are saying that they're not free to do something they want because of a responsibility they have. For example: "I have to work tonight instead of going to the concert! Am I wearing a ball and chain?"

A: -> the expression is ‘balls-deep’
-> note that it’s a vulgar s*xual expression and should only be used with friends

(to rat someone out = to snitch on them/tell on them/ tell someone else what they did wrong)
E.g I’m balls-deep in this essay, so I won’t be able to come to the party.
E.g she’s balls-deep in debt, because of her gambling addiction

A less extreme and more polite version of this expression is ‘knee deep’
E.g I’m knee deep in homework
E.g I’m knee deep in computer problems

You could also say ‘to be wading through’ a difficult task
E.g I’m wading through planning for the wedding

Both are pronounced exactly as the letter are. You say the B sound, and the word ‘all’ to make Ball. You say the word ‘Bow’ and add the L sound at the end to make Bowl.

A: So grammatical corrections: In tennis and soft tennis the ball hardness is different. The surface of the ball used in tennis is covered with felt. Therefore, that ball is firm. While, the ball used in soft tennis is made out of rubber. Accordingly, that ball is soft. Soft tennis BALLS ARE lighter than REGULAR tennis BALLS. THE RULES ARE ALSO different. If you get more than 2 points ahead and get more than 4 points, then you win one game is the same. In soft tennis, 4 points ahead is set as one set and 4 sets WILL GET THE win. Whereas, in tennis, 6 POINTS ahead is set as one set and 2 or 3 sets WILL GET THE win. So, tennis IS harder than soft tennis. Stretching of THE net is ALSO DIFFERENT. In soft tennis, THE NET IS BOLDLY HORIZONTAL. But, in tennis, THE MIDDLE OF THE NET GETS LOWERED slightly. Tennis IS a professional SPORT. However, soft tennis is AN amateur SPORT. That is WHY tennis HAS MORE prizes than soft tennis.

A: snowball

A: "Ball games, such as soccer, are very exciting."
