What does WHOMP mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To strike or hit something with great force, or to defeat an opponent overwhelmingly in a game or contest.
Whomp describes a forceful physical blow or a lopsided defeat, and speakers reach for it when a plain word like hit or beat feels too weak for the impact involved. A team that whomps its rival wins by a wide margin, leaving little doubt about which side was stronger. The word captures both the sound and the scale of the force in a single casual term.
How WHOMP is used
Informal; heard in casual speech and sports commentary rather than in formal writing.
- The visiting team went on to whomp the home side by twenty points.
