| | niedergemacht werden | Explanation:
I think it's mainly used in sports - in a more general context, I would say "niedergemacht werden".
"I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to spend twenty dollars on a ticket to see “MJ” get “tooled” on by “Melo”. For the street slang inclined that means to get beat badly." |
