OED Word of the Day - Pummeling

pummel
v pummel [ˈpaml]
to beat again and again with the fists.

...and that's what Anjum's Army have just doled out to a rather lacklustre Freebird this afternoon. Technically, the fists were wrapped around the controls of the various bars, but it was a pummelling nonetheless. 10 - 3 is a fantastic start to the week. Just what we needed after a fairly dismal performance so far this year.
