From Amazing Grace to A Floating Opportunity

An old Southern term an African-American mother uses to describe an long and sometimes well deserved, ass-whooping in order to warn her child, or others who cross her. This African-American saying, used as a motherly warning, first popped up in the 1930 play Mule Bone by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.

Amazing Baby

When the success of a person or organization is disproportionate to their talent, or the quality of their work.

When fame outweighs talent.
The band we saw last night was a total amazing baby, they drew a large crowd but their music was awful.

Despite the movie's high budget it was a complete amazing baby, receiving poor reviews from dissatisfied viewers.

amazing

Something that is so wonderful, it is hard to find the words to match. Something that makes your heart beat faster or your heart melt. Something that tops everything else, and always crosses your mind.
