Derived from Walter White putting bodies in barrels in Breaking Bad
That guy gets a barrel for hitting his girlfriend.
Wow, that guy at McDonalds was a dick, he needs a barrel.
Text Example
Me: WTF why did you bang my girlfriend.
Friend: You weren't gonna do it.
Me: Barrel
Friend: Fuck You
Me: Fine, double barrel

In baseball, a ball that--when hit by a batter--achieves a velocity of at least 98 mph while being launched at an angle within the 26 degree and 30 degree range. The angle range necessary for Barrel classification increases by 2 to 3 degrees for every 1 additional mph, until maxing out at 116 mph and an angle range of 8 to 50 degrees. Though a ball hit at speeds above 116 mph may still be classified as a Barrel, it must still maintain a launch angle within the 8 to 50 degree range.
The purpose of the Barrel classification is to define balls hit by batters that tend to produce exceptionally favorable batting averages for the offensive player.

Buster Posey's ability to hit home runs may be in decline, but he's knocked out way more Barrels than at this point last season so I think I'll keep him on my Fantasy Baseball team.

A phrase taken from a popular joke. To say someone is "in the barrel" or "taking a turn in the barrel" means it's their turn to do an unpleasant task or to suffer an unpleasant experience. The joke is as follows:
A sailor on a Navy ship had been out to sea for weeks, and was beginning to go through sex withdrawals. Fed up with the lack of sex, he asked one of his shipmates what he did when the pressure was too much to take.
"Well, there's a barrel with a hole in it near the mop storage. When it gets to be too much for us, we use that."
So the sailor went over to the barrel and decided to give it a go. Finding it was better than he'd expected, he began using it regularly, and his problems seemed to vanish.
After a couple of weeks, his commanding officer began to take notice, and said, "You seem to be a lot more relaxed. What's your secret?"
The sailor, embarrassed to give a straight answer, simply said he'd been getting better rest.
"Well good, sailor. You're going to need it," replied the officer. "Today's your turn in the barrel."
