marmelise

marmelise
vb
British
to destroy, utterly defeat. This invented word, suggesting, like spifflicate, some unspecified but comprehensive punish-ment, is probably a children's invention, perhaps based on marmalade. It has been used by adults for comic effect, particularly on radio and television (by Ken Dodd's 'Diddymen' and the script-writers of Coronation Street among oth-ers).
► I'll marmalize you!
