When playing a baseball-like sport, the act of taking a mighty chop at the ball, but making only slight contact, so the ball hits
the ground and rolls only a few pathetic feet.
Essentially, it has the effect of a bunt while still allowing
the batter to look manly (if foolish) by making a full swing.
Man bunts that fail to either advance a runner or land the batter safely on base are not acutally man bunts, but just plain ole' screwing up.
(Chris takes a hard swing, but just nips the ball. It rolls gingerly down the 3rd base line, but remains fair as Chris sprints safely to
first base).
First Baseman: that was total BS.
Chris: Pshaw! That was skill. Don't you know
a good man bunt when you see one?
