A term meaning "living like a bachelor," usually used by married people or ones in serious relationships whose significant other is temporarily or permanently away. It has a male connotation.
"My wife is in San Diego visiting her mother and buying yarn for the store, so I've been batchin' it."
allie is visiting her grandfather in California for the weekend - i told my mom and said, "Oh, so your batchin' it this weekend huh?" this is something people have said to me before. i understand the use of this term, but not why people thing this is an accurate term for me. through the definition, and the way the term is used, it implies that i will somehow have more freedom without allie around. meaning that i will not necessarily be acting like a bachelor (not cleaning, going dates, giving flowers to girls, etc, etc) but that i am somehow restricted by my partner - which couldn't be farther from the truth (and is actually more the opposite - that i feel more freed when i'm around allie).
perhaps this says more about how people normally conceive of others' relationships (or of men in their relationships) - that they are somehow more happier and free when their significant other isn't around. yikes.
