ghost town

To destroy; to annihilate, to remove any trace of the thing in question. The phrase comes from Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell":

"'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be"

Often used in a culinary context (ex.1), "ghost towning" can also be applied in a threatening manner (ex.2). Sometimes used in an exclamatory sense (ex.3).

Ex.1:
"I ghost towned that chicken!"
"Ghost town is found where that chicken used to be!"
(I rapidly consumed that chicken, leaving nothing left)

Ex.2:
"I'll ghost town your SOUL!"
(I will beat you so badly that your soul will flee)

Ex.3
"Ghost towned!"
(An exlamation upon a decisive victory)
