drubbed

Beat very badly

Drubbed is the past tense of drub, meaning to beat or defeat decisively.

The word suggests thorough domination rather than a close contest: They drubbed the visiting team 42-7.

Originally drub meant to beat physically, but now it's almost exclusively used for one-sided competitive outcomes.
