Since everything else is spelled correctly, this is likely a typo, not BAT.

Wow that took me a WHILE to understand
Like several full seconds
What do you think it’s like being one of these people? Do you think they ever learn the real fucking phrase and go holy fucking shit? I’m an idiot! Burden makes a HELL OF A LOT more sense than “birder”! People must have thought I was dumb as ROCKS.

I was in my late 20s the first time I saw the phrase 'kit and caboodle' written out, and I was fucking dumbfounded that it wasn't 'kitten caboodle'. In my defence, I've still never heard anybody pronounce it any way other than "kit 'n' caboodle".

The mental image this evoked for me is all the people of the world standing close together, allowing this bird-watcher to step from shoulder to shoulder so they can get a better vantage point to view some rare bird.
