walloping

Crushing defeat dealt

Walloping works as both adjective and noun, emphasizing impressive size or force.

A walloping portion is enormous; a walloping defeat is devastating.

As a noun, it means a thorough beating: The team took a walloping.

The word carries informal, slightly old-fashioned energy—emphatic but not quite serious.
