bone crusher

Fearsome wrestling nickname

Bone crusher refers to anything that crushes bones—a machine for processing animal remains, a powerful animal with bone-breaking jaws, or a person of exceptional strength.

The term often describes someone who delivers devastating physical force: He earned the nickname Bone Crusher in the ring.

A bone-crushing handshake or tackle is painfully forceful.
