(It is an alternative present, in which magic was released by the first nuclear bomb test in 1945. Magic, tech, and magitech are used both separately and together. In that world, there are zones of varying magical strength; in those with strong magic, old-style tech is becoming less common, as -- for instance -- fairly large construction projects can be handled by a single or a few mages specializing in earth-elemental magic....)

Part of speech: phrase
Forms: form: Baseball
form: huh
Etymology: In a comedy video posted by "al jokes" on YouTube, the person on the right asks a question, to which the person on the left replies "baseball", and the person on the right reacts "baseball, huh? that tracks"; the person on the left then asks what that phrase means, and the person on the right explains that it means "'that makes sense', 'that follows', 'obviously'", presumably explaining the meaning of "that tracks", but the person on the left gets confused and thinks that that is what "baseball, huh?" means, and uses it accordingly, to which the person on the right reacts "ye-, w-, no!, what?!". (Note: this summary leaves out some details that are less relevant to defining this phrase.) The top comment on the video, posted by @MazdaRX-7-FD, states 'Unironically "baseball huh?" Would be a hell of an inside joke', and it did indeed become an inside joke referenced in many comments and posts on social media.
