batting average

I think I can spy that hot guy coming over here.

I liked the man for his own sake, and even had he promised to turn out a celebrity it would have had no weight with me. I look upon notoriety with the same indifference as on the buttons on a man's shirt-front, or the crest on his note-paper.

You may know a lot about chemistry, man, but you don't know jack about slinging dope.
