napalmed
Hit with jellied gasoline
Napalmed means attacked or destroyed with napalm, a jellied gasoline that sticks to surfaces and burns intensely.
The term evokes Vietnam War imagery of aerial bombardment: The village was napalmed.
Figuratively, it describes being devastated or destroyed: My inbox got napalmed while I was on vacation.
