From one of Anu's citations today:

Still, it was an out-of-body experience to hear any boos for Pedro on Opening Night at Fenway Park.

Would anybody care to explain what sort of experience the writer (apparently a sports journalist) means? Heavenly? Strange? Shocking? Dreamlike?

So good to see the New York Yankees featured on a Daily Word, this, the opening month of baseball season, during yet another historic, record-setting run at the pennant! (and that the Red Sox are suffering the wrath of boo-ery by their own fans) Poetic justice!

Now don't all of you give me your Bronx cheers at once!

And when her prolonged bilabial fricative is done, I'll give you a prolonged voiced bilabial trill.
