In shape

It’s amazing how the English language overloads words to create secondary meanings.

For example, if you are in a circle then you are hanging out with people you feel close to. Yet if you are in a box then you are being fenced in against your will.

If you find yourself in a square, then you are in a public place, but if you perform in the round then you are surrounded by your public.

Being in an area means merely that you are expert at something, whereas being in the zone means you are using that expertise optimally — firing on all cylinders, as it were.

If you are in a line then you are probably waiting for something, but if you are in a triangle, then you are in love with two people at the same time. Which probably means you are not the kind of person who likes to wait. 🙂
