DEEP DIVE

This term for feeling completely defeated relates to when an individual is conquered in a competitive setting. Murking is the verb version of the word “merc” which is slang for “mercenary.” More negative connotations revolve around homicidal acts and being murdered in a mysterious way. The slang term is popularly used in online gaming when a competitor is taken down quickly or dramatically.
