ugh...I can't think of a word!

rwwong · 09-25-2007, 04:11 PM

There is a word on the tip of my tongue, and it's driving me nuts.

It's a noun for someone who does more harm than good. It's used alot when describing someone on a team, like sports or business. For example...."He's got great skills, but he's more of a .............. than an asset."

What the heck is the word, I'm pulling my hair out!

Edit: We got it, Liability!

Yep, that's it! I just simultaniously looked up the antonym for the word Asset and came up with Liability.

Thanks!

It's making sense in my case, I was trying to write in another forum about a hockey player who has great hands and play making ability, but has a tendency to be a bit showy and turn the puck over.

sweet.

Just curious why people would think liability would not make sense?

the word itself makes perfect sense but in that sentence it sounds odd I don't know when i think of liabilities I think of accounts payable
