dunking
Plunging briefly under
Dunking is the act of dipping something into liquid—a donut into coffee, a cookie into milk.
In basketball, dunking means slamming the ball downward through the hoop: He's famous for his powerful dunks.
The slang sense of dunking on someone means humiliating them, especially online, derived from the dominance a basketball dunk displays over a defender.
