How it's used
This term is a humorous, slang way to describe being struck in the face by a ball, often in sports like football or basketball. It carries a playful tone, implying that the impact was sudden and perhaps a bit clumsy. While it can refer to the physical act of being hit, it is also used as a double entendre to describe accidental physical contact with a woman's chest, which is why it should be used with caution.
Examples
I got hit in the face by a ball while walking past the pitch.
Common mistake
Do not use this term in formal or professional settings, as the secondary, suggestive meaning can make it highly inappropriate or offensive depending on the context.
