swung out

when a non-sports fan tries to make a sports reference but can't quite get it right.

highsmith tried to say someone "struck out" but screwed it up and said they "swung out" instead, providing a perfect example of "swinging out".

Swung out of the strikezone and still hit a homer

Keeping with baseball metaphors it is to go after someone far more attractive than oneselves and manage to have sex with them.

Michael: You went after Mackenzie? That's pretty bold she's like a 10!
Sanders: Yeah she is, we hooked up though.
Michael: Oh shit you swung out of the strikezone and still hit a homer.
