Uncontrollable torso shivers. Usually caused by some disturbing thought, visual, or sound. However, may occasionally be induced at random for what seems to be no reason whatsoever.

The Shakes

After smoking a lot of weed and you get a bad high, your body spasms or shakes uncontrollably. It will go away with time, just don't get as stoned next time.

Dude, we each just smoked a dub on our own. I have the shakes so bad. (Body uncontrollably spazzing.)

Batting in the shade

To be disoriented. Term is derived from baseball, when shadows covering the field make it difficult for batters to gauge the speed of pitches.

My friend was totally batting in the shade when he was trying to order a drink after he spilled the last one all over the bartender.

When I woke up in that guy's bed, trying to find my clothes on the floor was like batting in the shade.
