Living on the edge

Living on the edge means living a dangerous and/or unusual everyday life. People who live on the edge are very frequently exposed to phisical, psycological, economical, lawful or other kinds of dangers.

Examples for people who live on the edge:
Extreme-sportsmen, gamblers, policemen, thiefs, human-rights-activists, rappers, etc.
-My friend John is living on the edge.
-Oh yeah? He is a gambler or something?
-No, he cleans windows of high office buildings.

Today, I am officially coining a new term called “living on the point” … see when you live on the edge, you got an infinite amount of points to live on. All the sudden you realize that the edge is not as extreme as you may have thought before.

This is where the point comes in. When you live on the point that’s all you got. One single point, making this life style the most extreme. A definition for such life style may sound something like the following. Perhaps this will be on the urban dictionary soon.
