someone who is truly not very serious or not very skilled Explanation: not sure about your specific context but "a lightweight" means someone who is either not very serious about the action or is not very skilled at it lightweight ( n ) Someone who cannot get things done. You don't want to give a job this important to a lightweight. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2007-08-29 15:38:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- no, I would rephrase "I always thought you were not really willing to go all the way- to be serious enough (in his opinion). my impression is that "B" is not courageous enough to play this kind of game which sounds like it requires an outgoing personality - but I admit I am unclear as to the word "touch"...do they mean touch physically? or touch - like dealing with a sensitive subject? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2007-08-29 15:53:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "B" did not "get it"- did not understand what he has to do - so, maybe the guy is not very bright? not very quick? not paying attention? "taunting lazy players" sounds very plausible Reference: http://www.alphadictionary.com/slang/L.html |
