Shutting with force
Slamming is forceful closing or striking—doors slam, bodies slam into walls.
In telecommunications, slamming is the illegal practice of switching someone's phone carrier without consent.
In ballroom and club contexts, slamming means dancing energetically, especially in a mosh pit.
Something slamming can also mean excellent: That track is slamming.
