depth-charged
Submarine warfare target
Depth-charged describes being attacked with depth charges—underwater explosives designed to destroy submarines.
Figuratively, it means being hit hard or devastated by something: I was completely depth-charged by the news.
The term suggests an attack that comes from an unexpected angle or catches you submerged in your own thoughts.
