chin music (dict)

Chin MusicChin music is an American slang term for idle talk. It dates back at least a century - "There's too much chin music an; too little fightin' in this war" is a quote from Stephen Crane's 1895 novel The Red Badge of Courage.
In baseball slang, it means a pitch which comes near the batter's face. The pitcher's intent may be to cause the batter to move "back" such that it is more difficult to hit a future outside pitch, to frighten the batter into a poorer batting approach, to intimidate opposing batters, or to actually hit the batter with the pitch. If the umpire suspects the pitcher of either of the latter two intentions, he may eject the pitcher immediately or warn both teams that any similar pitch will result in automatic ejection.
"Chin Music" is also the name of the 2004 album by New York City hardcore band Billy Club Sandwich.
