beaned
Hit the head
Beaned is the past tense of bean, meaning to strike someone on the head with a thrown object—originally and especially a baseball: The pitcher beaned him with a fastball.
The head has been called a bean since the early twentieth century, giving rise to this verb.
Getting beaned doesn't require a ball; any object to the skull qualifies.
