What does the term "floored" mean to you

Let's bump this from the nursing home in a few decades, mate. Cheers.

 

I was floored when I saw this thread had been bumped again.

Well I think I was floored? May have to read through the 130 pages to be sure that's what it was.

 

Legend has it @MichiganWarrior is still watching the last minute of Round 7 of Pascal vs. Pittman (around 24:45 into this video) to find a justification for using the figurative sense of "floored" in the context of a boxing match where that is very explicitly part of the lingo in a very literal sense.

The thread that keeps on giving.

 

Welcome back my Beautiful Thread!!

 

On your back with your arms stretched out.
You could be knocked out or knocked down and still be floored but the meaning is in the name, "floored". So you can't be standing and be floored. That could be "rocked", "stunned" "dazed" etc.

 

I think you can fairly say that Jean was "floored" figuratively (as in surprised, "blown away" etc) by the sudden strength in Omar's left hook - but that clearly can't have been what MW meant when pretending to have seen the fight. He ought to have known better that when you're talking boxing and say floored, it is literal, always.

 

Michiganwarrior was such a clown!

 

He actually had a couple of clowns backing him in the day. I remember there being a poll attached to this.
