Definition
The military act of relentlessly pounding a target with artillery shells, bombs, or missiles until it ceases to exist as originally structured. It's also used metaphorically for any overwhelming assault, whether of emails, questions, or particles in physics. When 'a lot' just doesn't capture the sheer volume of destructive force involved.
Example Usage
The coastal fortifications withstood three days of naval bombardment before finally surrendering to superior firepower.
