Pronunciation: [wˈamd] (IPA) 
The word "whammed" is spelled with two "m's" at the end, despite the fact that the "m" sound is not pronounced twice. This is because "wham" ends in the voiced labial nasal consonant sound "m" (IPA symbol: /m/). When adding the past tense "-ed" suffix, the "e" is dropped and the "m" is doubled to maintain the pronunciation of the consonant sound. Therefore, "whammed" is pronounced as /wæmd/.
Whammed is a verb that refers to the act of striking, hitting, or slamming something or someone forcefully and suddenly. This term conveys a sense of impact, often with significant force or intensity. The term is derived from the onomatopoeic word "wham," which imitates the sound of a heavy collision or blow.
Whammed can be used in a variety of contexts. For instance, in a physical sense, it can describe someone being struck forcefully, such as "She whammed the door shut behind her." It can also describe an object forcefully hitting or colliding with a surface, as in "The ball whammed against the wall."
In another context, whammed can be used figuratively to convey the idea of something or someone being greatly overwhelmed or affected by an event or situation. For example, "Her sudden betrayal whammed him emotionally." Here, it signifies the impact of a significant and unforeseen emotional blow.
Moreover, whammed can be used metaphorically to describe a sudden and forceful impact in non-physical contexts. For instance, "The market whammed the company's stocks, causing a dramatic drop in their value." In this case, it signifies the sudden and severe effect of a negative event on the stocks.
Overall, whammed characterizes a powerful and sudden act of hitting or striking, often indicating a strong impact, whether physical, emotional, or metaphorical.
