flog
The term carries a strong sense of violence and repetition. In its primary sense of corporal punishment, it is associated with historical legal penalties or strict disciplinary regimes, evoking an image of systemic brutality rather than a random fight.
In a commercial context, the word is predominantly used in British English to describe selling goods. It carries a negative or cynical connotation, suggesting that the seller is pushy, the goods are of low quality, or the transaction is slightly opportunistic. This differs from "sell," which is neutral, by adding a layer of desperation or aggression to the act of trading.
Meanings
To sell something, typically in a persistent, aggressive, or dishonest manner.
