My WORD!

DEFAULT

1. Neglect or failure to act or do something you should do.
2. Computer term - a course which a program automatically follows when there are no other specific instructions.
eg. If you do not select a function, the computer will automatically choose a default function which is built into the system already.
3. (v) to fail in doing something you should have done.
4. (phrase) by default - because no other options are available.
eg. The Bears won the football match by default because The Tigers did not show up for the game.
