What were you THINKING?

I’m not interested in that thread, but Magiver often pisses me off with his intransigence and pseudo-expertise on virtually everything, so let me at least indulge in a bit of pedantry related to that quote:

That is not at all the metaphorical meaning of “wheelhouse”.

“The rapping industry”? There is indeed such a thing as “rap”, and a “rap music industry”, but the only “rapping” that should ever be spoken about is in this context:

Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.

Its ranks – its!! “It’s” is a contraction of “it is”.

One can, in moments of leisure, pass the time. But any purported organized activity that helps pass the time is a “pastime”.
