COSHING Meaning and
Definition
-
Coshing refers to the act of assaulting or attacking someone with a heavy blunt weapon, typically a cosh or a thick, weighted object. It is a term commonly used in the context of criminal activities or violent acts.
A cosh, also known as a blackjack or a sap, is a weapon that is specifically designed to deliver a powerful blow with minimal effort. It consists of a short, weighted club usually made of metal or hard material, such as lead or wood. Coshing is considered a form of physical violence that can cause serious bodily harm or even death.
The term "coshing" can also be used metaphorically to describe any form of forceful coercion or intimidation. It may refer to strong-arm tactics used to intimidate or compel someone into complying with certain demands or activities. This can include extortion, blackmail, or other forms of illegal or unethical behaviors.
Coshing is generally considered illegal and is treated as a criminal offense in many jurisdictions. Engaging in coshing can lead to criminal charges, including assault, aggravated assault, or even attempted murder, depending on the severity of the harm caused.
The term "coshing" may also be used colloquially to describe being hit or struck forcefully, even without the use of a cosh weapon. It denotes a sudden and forceful impact, often resulting in pain or injury. However, this usage is less common and typically used in informal or colloquial contexts.
