Jouskazhoos-ka
n. A hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head--a crisp analysis, a devastating comeback, a cathartic heart-to-heart--which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage that feels far more satisfying than the small-ball strategies of everyday life.
Etymology
French jusqu’a, until. In baseball, “small ball” is a cautious offensive strategy devoted to getting on base via walks, bunts, and steals, forgoing the big home run moments that fans tend to enjoy.
