* Overview of verb score

The verb score has 7 senses (first 3 from tagged texts)
1. (18) score, hit, tally, rack up -- (gain points in a game; "The home team scored many times"; "He hit a home run"; "He hit .300 in the past season")
2. (12) score, nock, mark -- (make small marks into the surface of; "score the clay before firing it")
3. (3) score, mark -- (make underscoring marks)
4. score -- (write a musical score for)
5. seduce, score, make -- (induce to have sex; "Harry finally seduced Sally"; "Did you score last night?"; "Harry made Sally")
6. score -- (get a certain number or letter indicating quality or performance; "She scored high on the SAT"; "He scored a 200")
7. grade, score, mark -- (assign a grade or rank to, according to one's evaluation; "grade tests"; "score the SAT essays"; "mark homework")

I totally got why scoring is preferred over killing. 😀n

I am not really "grown up" despite the age, so it's easy to get the
double meaning of it. Do you get it Po Lu?
