For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I mean "state of the art". I realise that it means "newest", but what's with the phrase? State doesn't mean new. And if "the art" can refer to a mobile phone, then I'm even more confused. Or can the phrase mean "Newest thing to drive with in a dangerous way"?
Genuinely, the phrase doesn't make sense to me. Regardless of what it's meant to mean.
