storming
Charging in furiously
Storming describes something done with fierce energy or violent force: a storming performance, a storming finish to the race.
British slang uses it as high praise for something excellent or impressive: That goal was absolutely storming.
The word also names the second stage of group development, when conflict emerges before cohesion: The team is still in the storming phase.
