boot ride

Putting someone in the boot (trunk) of your car after a severe beating, then dumping them somewhere far away, presumably after another sound beating. The unknown aspect of being driven away in a boot adds to the psychological distress. Has also resulted in death in some cases.

In New Zealand, when someone has wronged you in a serious enough manner, this is often seen as the ultimate punishment.
