bodyslammed

Thrown down hard

Bodyslammed is the past tense of bodyslam, a wrestling move where you lift an opponent and throw them forcefully to the ground.

Outside the ring, it describes any similarly aggressive physical takedown: The bouncer bodyslammed him onto the sidewalk.

Figuratively, it means to defeat or overwhelm decisively: We got bodyslammed in the quarterly review.
