What is Beachball?
1.
Other than an inflatable beach toy, beachball is a common term used at beaches between males to announce the presence of an extremely attractive female without drawing attention. It is usually placed in a question followed by a time of day to signify the direction of the female relative to the speaker.
Teddy: "So you coming to the party tonight?"
Mike: "No, sorry, I'm playin' some beachball at 3 o'clock."
Teddy: "Oh, really."
Teddy glances to the side.
Teddy: "Hm, maybe I'll join you."
