The word "trounce" is consistently employed to convey a forceful, often physical, overcoming of an adversary, yet its usage can extend into metaphorical or hyperbolic realms. In many narratives, a character issues a threat promising an immediate and decisive defeat, as seen when a speaker vows to "trounce you right well" with a cudgel [1] or warns, "if you do it again I'll trounce you" [2]. In other contexts, the term embodies the idea of decisively besting an opponent in a contest or conflict, whether in battle-like settings [3] or even in playful admonitions toward youthful misbehavior [4]. The verb's versatility also allows it to intensify the tone of an encounter, ranging from crude, physical violence to more figurative expressions of domination and rebuke [5], [6].
