lamped

Struck with force

Lamped is the past tense of lamp, a British slang verb meaning to hit or strike someone hard: He lamped the guy right in the face.

The usage is informal and somewhat dated.

Separately, lamped can describe eyes that are wide or luminous, though this literary sense is rare: Her lamped eyes followed him across the room.
