slugging
In baseball, this term describes a batter's ability to hit for extra bases, specifically quantified by the slugging percentage. It prioritizes raw power and the distance of the hit over the simple ability to reach first base.
In a violent context, it refers to the act of hitting someone repeatedly and heavily with a fist. This usage carries a connotation of brutality and lack of technical skill, distinguishing it from a single punch or a precise strike.
In skincare or pharmacology, it refers to the application of a thick layer of an occlusive agent, such as petroleum jelly, to the skin to lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss.
