Batty<\/strong> (adj<\/em>): Deranged, crazy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bats in the news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Big news that doesn\u2019t help: COVID19 may have been transmitted initially by a bat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative theories include: secret laboratories, biological warfare and 5G cellular service. Choose one that matches the news you consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable bats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vampire Bat<\/strong>: Sucks blood. Hangs upside down. Typical Friday night if you ask us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batman<\/strong>: Wears mask and fights injustice. Sounds like us in the wine section at the supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wombat<\/a><\/strong>: Australian marsupial quarantining with a bunch of kangaroos. We\u2019re jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batty expressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Batsh*t crazy<\/strong>: Insane. Have you seen a press conference at the White House lately?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOld bat<\/strong>\u201c: Pejorative term for a senior. Personally, we\u2019d like old bats and young to survive this pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off the bat<\/strong>: Immediately. Life will go back to normal right off the bat, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
