The internet slang term “The Ball’s In Your Court” means that it is now up to someone else to take action or make a decision. It refers to the idea of a ball game where each player takes turns, and when the ball is in your court, it means it’s your turn to make a move.
Examples:
1. Person A: Are you ready to go out for dinner tonight?
Person B: Sure, I’m free. I’ll check with the others and let you know where we should meet. The ball’s in your court now to decide on the restaurant.
2. Friend A: I’ve finished my part of the group project. Now, it’s your turn to complete your section.
Friend B: Don’t worry, I’ll start working on it tomorrow. The ball’s in my court now.
In both examples, the phrase emphasizes that the responsibility or decision-making power has shifted to someone else, indicating that it’s now their turn to take action or make a choice.
