bat droppings contain high levels of ammonia, so if you were in a cave full of bats, you could suffer brain damage within a very short time. (you could also die) However I don't know who coined the phrase.

since it's likely that neither the people hurling it as an insult nor the intended recipients have a clue, it's a weak epithet.
