A word popular amongst people who play MUDs or other MMORPGS. To kill with an excessive amount of force usually in unfair Player VS Player fights.
In a Mud I use to play (called MUME) this was the most classic example:
Player1 attempts to fight Player2 in a fair fight. Player2 gets his ass kicked and calls for backup. Player1 gets trapped or Spam killed by Player2, Player3, Player4 and Player 5.

Awesome thrash metal band hailing form New Jersey, easily recognized by vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth's buzzsaw-like vocals. Recently released their fourteenth album RELIXIV.
