What Does Balon Mean?

Post by balon! »

I just sort of made it up when I was eight for an online sci-fi piloting game. But I've never thought of what it means.

What do you all think?

Balon (bay-lon)
v, intransitive: to leave in a lurch.
example: Brian said he'd bring the beer, but he'll probably balon us again.

It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I assumed it was just the French for 'ball'. I think I've always subconsciously pictured you as a French Canadian who liked sports because of that. Sorry.

Me too.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
