clobbering
Delivering a pounding
Clobbering is the act of hitting or defeating someone or something decisively and often violently.
In physical contexts, it suggests a heavy, forceful blow: He took a clobbering in the ring.
The word extends readily to competitive situations where one side dominates: Our team took a clobbering in the playoffs.
In computing, clobbering refers to accidentally overwriting data or files.
