Presume SLASH.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have never come across 'slosh' meaning to 'hit'. It seems to be a British/UK usage not employed in the Antipodean colonies. In NZ we would only use 'sloshing around' in connection with water/liquid.

We also use it to mean drunk, i.e. he was sloshed.

Thanks Frameshift - yes I have heard 'sloshed' to mean drunk also - still has the 'liquid' connection.

You could say that Kevin Pietersen sloshed the ball for six.
