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.

Get the 18 years old mug.This fighter bomber is the most capable fighter plane ever built to date. It utilizes two ge 404 turbojet engines producing over thirty five thousand pounds of thrust. The first release was a yf-17, a production model which then was morphed into the F/A-18 Hornet. The plane can be launched off of catapults and land on a carrier's 5 cabel landing system. The plane has been purchased by many nations around the world, especially Canada, which bought 138 of them(CF-18's) back in the 1980's. The plane has evolved throught out the years from the yf-17 to the F/a-18 c's and d's and now the F/A-18 E/F super hornet. The technology integrated into the super hornets is very sophisticated and superior to meet any challenge.
"The F/A-18 has rendevoused with the tanker and is taking in fuel."
"The CF-18 is heading 270 at 300 knots"
