Ok, so here's the dictionary.com definition of BASH:
bash
–verb (used with object)
1. to strike with a crushing or smashing blow.
2. Chiefly British, Canadian . to hurl harsh verbal abuse at.
–noun
3. a crushing blow.
4. Informal . a thoroughly enjoyable, lively party.
—Idioms
5. have a bash (at), British . to attempt; make an attempt.
6. on the bash, British . working as a prostitute.
#6 is cute. #4 is what I always thought. But whatever, so after having seen the application of this word on HSBBW, I think we should propose a few new definitions:
-verb
7. To attempt a discussion on what round a baseball player might be drafted. Usually considered vulgar if a person, even in good faith, challenges whether or not that player might be drafted in the first round.
-noun ing
8. Accusation typically made by the self-righteous in applications where it may be useful to establish a gratuitous sense of moral high-ground. Can be usefully amplified by the dishonest pretense that 18-year old children might be somehow abused by such discussion. e.g., "I think it is time to shut down the thread since the player bashing is starting or I should say continuing."
