Lex's definitions
Bat-and-ball game originating in Britain, where it is called “Rounders” and is principally played by schoolgirls.
At any given time it involves one pitching-&-fielding team, who must dismiss the batsmen by throwing the ball past them to a catcher, and one batting team who must strike the ball in such away as to enable them to run between the “plates” or “bases” and so amass points.
Apparently also played by grown men, in the Colonies.

Q : Will you be watching the baseball?

Get the 12 monkeys mug.Term referring to caucasian American who chooses to adopt the (perceived) cultural, aesthetic & social trappings of japanese society.
The word originally derived by analogy with wigger ( = "white" + "nigger").
Generally used as a term of disparagement by the sort of white Americans who - touchingly - never seem even to consider why it is that half their own youth population seem so desperate to be japanese, black, chicano, euro, virtual. Anything, indeed, rather than white American.
Natives of the world's other 200-odd countries find the social phenomenon somewhat less confusing.
