batten the hatches

a) (original meaning) : among winter time lobster and crab fishermen in North America: on a vessel, to close all entrances to the lower decks and crew cabins when you are in a storm

b) (my new and improved meaning): in Atlantic Canada and New England and in cities such as New York, Boston, Montreal, Halifax, to insulate the doors and windows of one's house for the winter months.

to batten the hatches definition b), even if it costs a small fortune, is a snow-brainer if you live in Canada or The northeastern United States

A small city it South West Washington that is currently going to shit. A lot of Weed, heroin addicts and Juul addicts . Also stay away from BGHS and the skatepark.

battle time

Battle Time is when a fight too fast for the human eye is slowed down to the viewers level. Think Dragonball, Naruto, most shonan anime. Most acts in these shows are described as fast but to us appear slow or average.

Fan 1: Ha, Frieza doesn't know what minutes are. This fight has been going on for 5 hours more like.

Fan 2: Thats just "battle time", 5 minutes could be 5 hours if you move fast enough. Would you rather they just put a 5 minute clip of sound with the shockwaves like the minute they did back in Dragonball fights instead?
