cold bat

The cold bat is when one wakes up at 4 am in the morning and takes off all of their clothes (assuming that they do not sleep naked) then walks over to the bathroom to stroke their penis until it is erect, then proceeds to slap their penis onto the cold surface of the toilet.

I was challenged by my friend once to do a cold bat while my parents are sleeping.

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.
