Baller is a great word.

even if it is overused. i believe the origins of the word baller are from basketball. Ballers were pro basketball players. Since then the word evolved to mean a person having success doing what they enjoy while also profiting heavily from it. For instance Flash is a baller because he's doing what he loves while profiting heavily from it. That's at least how i understood the word. but since then even i've started saying it for all sorts of shit. baller is just a good fking word.

jobber is another good word, pretty much the opposite of baller is a jobber.

I told Gorush he was a baller during our photo shoot and he replied (using his awesome english skills I might add.) 'I'm not gosu any more.' To which I promptly told him to stop being lame and accept his baller-ness.

Haha that's awesome

"
baller 1975 up, 314 down love ithate it

A thug that has "made it" to the big time. Originally refered ball players that made it out of the streets to make millions as a pro ball player, but now is used to describe any thug that is living large.
Pain is a part of the game when you're a baller. "
Urbandictarny


So in a strict sense, we're using it wrong, but in a loose sense, it's okay really, nothing is strictly used as they're intended.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!
