2. What's the meaning of good sport?
Thanks.

1. Within the rules, but bending them. E.g. in tennis, if you hit the other player with a ball, it's your point, but the spirit of the game says you shouldn't play that aggressively.
2. Someone who enjoys the game, win or lose. A bad sport would be angry if he lost the game.
