So, I received a question from a reader. If "having a ball" is having fun, does that make "a ball room" a place - any place - you have fun? No, not generally. A ball room, instead, is a specific kind of very large room where parties and events are held. Often hotels, etc. will have a specific room they call a "ball room". It's usually for wedding and formal dinners. But generally speaking, it's not just any room where people have fun.
