the football team at michael jordan’s alma mater, the<\/span><\/span> university of north carolina tar heels<\/span><\/strong>, will wear jordan brand<\/a> uniforms next season. \u00a0michael jordan announced this at halftime of the tarheels’ big men’s basketball game on saturday against their arch<\/span>\u00a0rival<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(most important) the\u00a0duke blue devils<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"jordan<\/h6>\n

if u already know this, it’s probably thanks to<\/strong><\/em> (because of) the enigmatic words jordan spoke at the end of his short inspirational speech that have set the internet on fire<\/p>\n

the ceiling is the roof<\/h4>\n

sara jane harris<\/strong>\u00a0at sportingnews.com<\/strong> reported\u00a0it<\/a> like this<\/p>\n

michael jordan has a new\u00a0and rather<\/em> confusing catch phrase<\/em>.<\/h4>\n

rather<\/strong><\/em>, like pretty<\/em> or quite<\/em>, means to a certain\u00a0degree or level<\/em>. \u00a0the degree depends on tone or context; in this example, \u00a0rather<\/em> means more confusing than normal<\/em>. \u00a0catch phrase<\/strong><\/em> is an easily recognized line often associated with a specific person<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

a ceiling \u00a0(thefinishingcompany.net)<\/em><\/h6>\n

the ceiling<\/strong><\/em> is the top of a room inside a building<\/em>. \u00a0the roof<\/strong><\/em> is the top of a building from the outside<\/em>. they are different, but they are also often used interchangeably.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

a roof<\/em><\/h6>\n

so if u are an efl student and jordan’s words sound redundant—u got it. \u00a0that’s why everyone is cracking jokes.<\/p>\n
