Body Shot KO
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
Does a body shot sound nice right about now? Be careful what you ask for; not every body shot is pleasant. In fact they can downright hurt and possibly KO you.
That’s because a body shot is also a reference to a boxing strike. Typically body shots are punches directed at a fighter’s midsection, usually the ribs or stomach, intended to wear him or her down for an inevitable knock out. Body shots are seldom strong enough to actually take out the fighter on their own; however it has been known to happen on occasion, when the fighter strikes with just the right amount of momentum in just the right place.
Definitely not the same as the traditional liquor body shot, and definitely something you’ll want to beware of. Save body shots for bars and always be wary of whom you ask for one, as you might find yourself plastered on the ground - and in need of a drink to stop the pain.
