What is the general direction in which something is headed?

Answer 1

Typically, it's the direction that it's facing.

However, it often depends on context as well. I could be driving and taking a lot of lefts and right, but be generally heading to the mall.

So basically it means that something is moving, but not in an exact course, toward something else!

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

That depends on the direction in which it has been hit,kicked,shot,launched,spat or otherwise propelled... !!
