How is 8-0 described in general parlance?

The OS described it as a drubbing. I looked up the word online, and it says that a drubbing is the insertion of a largish inanimate object into someone's rectum. The word comes from the incident called "The Drubbing of the Turks" Where the Turkish army were drubbed by the army of Drubai in retaliation for "The Turking of the Drubs"

Whenever I see 'thrashing' in a headline, I expect at least 4-0, but it seems this has been downgraded to 3-0. I thought the appropriate cliche was humiliation (as stated above), but I see more 'Demolition' in the headlines (also, as above). Personally, I think humiliation is worse than demolition, so I would go with that. However, as we see the continual erosion of the power of cliche (have we got to 200% effort yet?), perhaps the correct level of hyperbole is annihilation (again, as above).

 

I should think resident swots Bletch and Follwyd should contribute here.
