B) Translation from French. I think it may be an idiom. 'niveau Mondial ...terrible'

B) Does this just mean rainy day, bad? He must have been commenting on our day here in Zenith City. I need to talk to Odus about this. Aw, s**t Odus is dead.

The figurative interpretation would be world class awful...

my take on encountering that type of player is to write in my comments

"not THIS world"... :rolleyes:

:) The guy who made the comment (privately to me) was playing with someone who had a star and rated himself world class who had just gotten a zero in a 60 table duplicate by going down two in a three notrump contract. He had:

1. opened an indifferent 14 HCP one NT playing a 15-17 range
2. forgot to hold up in our suit
3. misguessed a two way queen by finessing into the dangerous hand

You gotta love bridge players self-rating themselves. Still, it beats the alternatives by a mile, imo.
