Ass Bats 

Ass bats are the bats that brush into you at night, they have a tenancy to brush your partners ass as you're walking down an unlit path. Ass bats live on insects, they are so fast that you rarely get to see them, in most cases the person walking with them gets the blame.

Did you just touch my ass? No it must have been ass bats I think I saw one flying around earlier...

burn the boats 

To burn the boats is a metaphor for destroying any safety net you have. To go all in and decide to go after it regardless of the outcome. It originated from the conquering of the Aztecs by Cortez. Once they reached the shore of Mexico Cortez decided to tell his men to burn the boats. Meaning they would either die or conquer the land.

Tim: “ man I can’t leave this job, I’ll be homeless. I hate what I’m doing but I can’t quit and find something better. It’s too risky.”

John fucking Rambo: “burn the boats you pussy.”

batshit crazy 

A person who is batshit crazy is certifiably nuts. The phrase has origins in the old fashioned term "bats in the belfry." Old churches had a structure at the top called a belfry, which housed the bells. Bats are extremely sensitive to sound and would never inhabit a belfry of an active church where the bell was rung frequently. Occasionally, when a church was abandoned and many years passed without the bell being rung, bats would eventually come and inhabit the belfry. So, when somebody said that an individual had "bats in the belfry" it meant that there was "nothing going on upstairs" (as in that person's brain). To be BATSHIT CRAZY is to take this even a step further. A person who is batshit crazy is so nuts that not only is their belfry full of bats, but so many bats have been there for so long that the belfry is coated in batshit. Hence, the craziest of crazy people are BATSHIT CRAZY.

Dude that guy on the corner wears a tinfoil hat and ripped all the wires out of his house so the government couldn't listen to his thoughts.

Really?

Yeah, he's batshit crazy.
