necklacing
This term describes a brutal form of extrajudicial execution where a rubber tire is placed around a victim's neck, filled with petrol, and ignited. It carries an extremely violent and traumatic connotation, specifically associated with political unrest and vigilante justice.
Due to its origins in specific geopolitical conflicts, the word is rarely used in general conversation and is almost exclusively found in journalistic reports, human rights documentation, or historical accounts of civil strife. It is never used metaphorically or casually.
