shot in the dark

Occurs when peeing late at night or early in the morning, (usually accompanied by an unfortunate boner) when the pee-er fails to turn on the light due to sleepiness - leading the pee-er to urinate in the darkness and get piss all over the floor.

Common responses include "fuck it" under the pee-ers' breath, but responses NEVER include cleaning the stray urine off the floor. (sometimes leaving the mother to clean it)

MOM - John, did you pee on the floor?

JOHN - Sorry, I took a shot in the dark

MOM - Fuck it

shot in the dark

A shot of espresso dropped in a cup of brewed coffee.

When I go into severe caffeine withdrawal, a shot in the dark will straighten me right out.

Shot in the dark

A phrase used to describe a random guess, sometimes associated with a certain South African sprinter.

I didn't know the answer to the question so I took a wild shot in the dark, Oscar Pistorius style.

Shot in the dark

While mastrubating at night when your significant other is sleeping, you climax into their open, unsuspecting mouth.

Mike, you and Jane were doing great! Why'd you break up?

I got drunk and gave her a shot in the dark.

Was it worth it?

Totally.
