Today’s “Word of the Day” is “armchair“ and it is an adjective meaning “handling problems theoretically rather than practically/directly involving in them”.
Example Sentence: Indeed, without wishing to put the cat among the skunkworks, it’s almost as if the government can’t face any form of self-awareness. Analysis-wise, we’re on the level of the armchair football pundit whose verdict is that England just didn’t play with enough “passion” during the first wave. At the end of the day, the virus just wanted it more, according to that chief adviser to the prime minister, Dominic Cummings.
Note: Skunkworks means Secret R&D Team.
This word is present in The Guardian article Learn lessons from the first wave? Johnson and co are far too busy for that and click here to read it.
