skunked
Scored nothing against
Skunked means thoroughly defeated or shut out, especially in games where one side scores nothing: We got skunked 7-0.
In cribbage specifically, to skunk is to win by a margin of 31 or more points.
The word also describes beer that has gone stale from light exposure, developing an off flavor reminiscent of skunk spray: Don't leave bottles in the sun—they'll get skunked.
