Named for Norman Bates, the mentally unstable antagonist of the film Psycho, a Bates is a person who never threatens anyone's life directly, but very obviously gives off the "I'm going to kill you in your sleep and roll around in your blood giggling like a schoolgirl" vibe. A Bates is almost always completely oblivious to the fact that they're a Bates. Also usually very poor at reading hints to leave others alone.
Janet: You know that kid John? He's a total Bates.

Brad: You can say that again, he keeps looking at me like he wants to cut out my liver and eat it raw.

Bates(aka Big lipped Bastard)is John Carroll's Hero. Very racist and educated in firearms. Damn Sexy. Very, very big lips. If your listen closely in the halls, you can hear him say "Stupid Nigger!" and "Hell No!". Despite his unusual appearence , Bates takes a hip-hop dance class and can back it up like nobody's buisness.
Whos that guy with those huge ass lips? Ooh that's just Bates.
