    小知识

    A drubbing in sports is a defeat, especially by a wide margin. Your team's 100-point loss in the dodgeball tournament could be called a drubbing. Ouch.

    When one team soundly beats another, that's a drubbing. You can also use this word for a more literal kind of beating, actually physically striking someone: “My brother threatened to give that bully a drubbing if he keeps teasing me.” The word comes from the verb drub, “to beat,” probably from the Arabic root daraba, “he beat up.”
