SLUGGED Meaning and Definition

1. Slugged is a verb that refers to the act of hitting or striking someone or something with a heavy blow using one's fist, or sometimes an object. It connotes violence or forcefulness in the action. When someone is slugged, they are struck with a punch, usually in their face or head, with significant strength or force. The term can also be used to describe striking an inanimate object, such as a door or wall, with a powerful blow, often when frustrated or angry.

   The word slug itself generally refers to a heavy, solid projectile fired from a gun, but in the context of "slugged," it expands to include any powerful strike. It implies the use of physical strength or aggression to inflict harm or assert dominance. Slugging is often associated with street fights or altercations, where individuals engage in physical confrontations and exchange punches.

   While the term is commonly used in informal or colloquial language, it may also appear in more formal contexts, such as sports commentary or crime reports, where it specifically describes forceful punches or blows thrown by individuals. It is important to note that slugging usually implies an act of violence and is not usually used to describe accidental or unintentional hitting.
