knocks out
Puts to sleep
Knocks out means to render unconscious, typically with a blow: The boxer knocked out his opponent in the third round.
By extension, it means to eliminate from competition: They were knocked out in the semifinals.
To knock out work is to produce it quickly: She knocked out the report in an hour.
Something that knocks you out impresses or exhausts you: That dessert knocked me out.
A knockout is a stunning person or thing.
