Oh-and-three

[Cynthia Garett]

Hi,

I would like to ask you what does "oh-and-three" mean in this paragraph.

"We go to Idaho, and we have two road games, and I'm thinking, I don't want to come back oh-and-three, because that's going to put a lot of questions on me and them".

Thanks :).

It means zero wins (or successes) in 3 games (or tries).

It means zero wins (or successes) in 3 games (or tries).

How does that work if they have two games?

[Drear Pooson]

Not a teacher.

I must disagree with SoothingDave.

The phrase means zero wins (or successes) and three losses (or failures).

(SoothingDave's post means oh-for-three.)

fivejedjon: I'm thinking the speaker has already lost the first two road games and is fearing also losing the third.

[SoothingDave]

Yes, my mistake. Oh and three is zero wins and three losses. I was thinking oh for three.
