How many people will attend the
French club meeting ? |
Lila |
I'm not sure. |
Brent |
Come on, Lila. Don't
you have a ballpark figure ?
After all, you're the club president. |
Lila |
Maybe 10 or 20. |
Brent |
That's a big
difference. |
Lila |
Actually, only two

Explanation : |
|
Ballpark figure - a number which
is a guess, but which you believe is near the correct number |
|
Example :
We'll have to go away and cost this carefully, but as a
ballpark figure I'd say that
it'll be about two million dollars. |
