n. not just a bench, but "the" bench. This is where starting baseball players dream of getting to in their career, where players can completely screw around all day, and where there are gemming stories. Three key aspects of the bench are if a bench player can, keep the book, stay in one spot the whole game, and get foul balls. A perfect bencher is something even veteran benchers may not get to accomplish in their lifetime. One must never move the entire time during the game, asking the coach to not put him in if he asks. It has only happened once or twice in freshman-jv baseball history.
That kid for Milton clearly wanted to sit the bench in that game, since when he hit a dribbler to eich, instead of running to first, he walked off the field towards the bench so that his coach would sit him for the rest of the game.

To benchpress.
This invloves lying horizontally, with free barbell perpendicular to one's body. The target muscles are the pectorals, although the arms are also givena workout. The closer together one's hands, the more work is done by the triceps. The further apart, the more work is done by the biceps.
Incline benchpresses can also be used, to focus on either the upper chest (upwards incline) or lower chest (lower incline- pretty much un-needed)

To watch for and phtograph graffiti on trains. Derived from NYC subway graffiti culture, writers would sit on a bench and watch the painted up trains go by.
Fred: "hey pablo, what are you doing this weekend?"
Pablo: " I think that I am going to the train yard to bench.".
Fred "Word mang thats whats up, keep an eye out for my stuff"

noun: related to "bitch" and "girlfriend". A snarky self identifying term that stems from American Idol's Season 8 winner Kris Allen, who apparently used the term in relation to a literal park bench on camera, but was told to not say it again on camera because with his southern accent it sounded like "bitch".
The term has been subsequently adopted by fans, most notably those from ONTD_AI.

"You already saw the new Kris Allen interview? Where at? Come on, hook a bench up!"
"Benches unite! Give 'til it hurts for Haiti!"
