In baseball circles, a term used to send a short texting. The rule signifies the unwillingness of a spectator/diehard fan to depart from a ballgame before its completion, irrespective of how many innings it may take to do so beyond the standard nine innings of the sport.
Origin of the term is not known, nor the reason for the selection of the number 18, except to simply note the length of two regular games. Potentially, extra innings can extend indefinitely past 18, but it's rare.

I was so close to drifting off to sleep when I got the tinkle-inkling. As tired as I was, I knew peeing then would let me sleep later in the morning.

Get the inning mug.When a man accidentally ejaculates a little bit in his pants. It often occurs without significant reason or warning, and the man is aware enough to hold his load in after the inkling has come out. Overly sensitive men and pasty virgins are particularly prone to inklings, especially when they have a hunch. It is somewhat similar to a shart or a light tinkle from laughter or an amusement park ride, except with jizz instead of poop or urine, respectively.
Guy 1: No way man, Kobe is better.
