A set of rims (wheels) on a car with a higher offset than is socially acceptable. This means the rims sit far within the guard, an undesirable look in car communities which endorse the "hellaflush" style of wheel fitment. This offset can lead to the rims described as being "sunk" into the guard.
The term "sunk" was eventually linked to the popular saying, "You sunk my battleship."
The word "battleship" then began to be used as a verb in this context, leading to the term "Battleship Rims".

A person who uses sleight of hand to move a ship on their own board in which the opponent successfully hit, and now becomes a miss. This tactic is almost always done when there is nobody else watching over the game, as it's difficult to prove that the person cheated otherwise. These kind of people are so obsessed with winning that winning is more important to them than friends, or even family. They're usually left to sit at the dinner table alone each night.
The most common Battleship cheaters are around 30-45 years of age and usually involves a stepson because they are insecure of losing a game to a 10 year old, even if said game is based almost entirely on luck.
