Okay, not an Aibu really, but I am
desperately trying to think of a word. It describes someone who is an underdog, not expected to win, but inserted anyway and they run away with it etc. I feel it has a Q or a Z in it somewhere. I’ve tried lots of Google searches, but can’t get the right one to get the word. Can anyone help??
