Cherry Picking

The first response I had when I hear about this was the hi-ho cheerio game. The one when you pick cherries off a tree and put them in the bucket and whoever had the most cherries win. When I started to research it, the first thing that I came across that was a cherry picker. According to wikipedia, it is someone that reaches up to pick cherries. Well, that is somewhat obvious. Webster dictionary defines it as selecting the most desirable. So if I apply that to English then it means that you should select the most desirable words or research to what you are writing. That is important because people who read article do not want to read something that is “undesirable.” Undesirable items could be boring information, bad writing, or an article that was not proofread. All of these things are unattractive when reading other people’s work. I looked really hard online to find out what else what cherry picking could mean, but those are the only two real explanations that are remotely interesting. I guess that cherry picking, according to my opinion, could mean a free sense of writing. This is because when I think of cherry pinking I generally think of it as being around cherry trees and just picking cherries and eating them. However, it could mean a limited writing, because some people have to work as cherry pickers; therefore they are limited to that work and it is not free.
