Brunch

A new meal added between breakfast and lunch. All in all, a very difficult concept to understand.

Flounder

1) A fish that lives on the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps the origin of the insult 'bottom-dewller' or 'bottom-feeder'.

2) To fail or struggle in a given situation.

1) I have never caught a flounder while fishing, nor should I have.

2) After floundering as a catcher due to injuries, Brian Downing had a successful career as an outfielder.
