In many card games, some cards have an unknown value. They are called “wild cards.” But, what else can “wild card” mean?
D: I invited Ralph to our fundraising meeting.
A: Great idea! He’s rich! He can help us raise money for our pickleball team.
D: But he’s also a wild card. You never know what he’s going to say.
A: If he says something unhelpful, we just unplug his microphone!
If someone is a “wild card” they are unpredictable. You don’t exactly know how they might affect a situation or what they might do. Lots of situations can have a wild card, even a pickleball fundraising meeting. Originally published at - learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
