haymaker
Wild powerful punch
A haymaker is a powerful, sweeping punch thrown with full force, typically arcing wide rather than jabbing straight: He threw a haymaker that connected with the guy's jaw.
The term comes from the swinging motion used to toss hay with a pitchfork.
Haymakers are dramatic but leave the thrower off-balance and exposed.
The word also refers to a person or machine that cuts and dries hay.
