EN: rocky area, stone quarry
Literally, a place that rocks. It's not a party, but a place full of stones. Think of a riverbed, a quarry, or that empty lot where you and your friends used to play when you were kids. It can also describe a bumpy, unpaved road that makes you feel like you're in a cheap massage chair.
From 'bato' (stone, rock) with the circumfix 'ka- -an', denoting a place abundant in something.
