Arsenal score
Definition
A colloquial phrase, primarily in British English sports slang, referring to the current or final scoreline of a football (soccer) match involving Arsenal Football Club, the storied London-based Premier League team.
Less commonly, a literal (and somewhat absurd) tally of munitions or weapons in a military arsenal, as if scoring a inventory like a game.
