OED
Hence {drubbing} vbl. n., a beating, a thrashing; also transf., fig., and attrib.; drubber, one who drubs or beats.
1650 Howell For. Trav. App. (Arb.) 85 They [the Turks] have sundry sorts of punishments that torture the sense a longer time, as drubbing, guunshing, flaying alive, impaling. 1687 Congreve Old Bach. i. v, He will take a drubbing with as little Noise as a Pulpit Cushion. 1708 Prior Mice 102 These two were sent (or I'm no drubber). 1752 Hume Ess. & Treat. (1777) I. 266 To hear‥Jupiter threaten Juno with a sound drubbing. 1769 Junius Lett. xxiii. 108 note, Sir Edward Hawke had given the French a drubbing. 1784 Lett. to Honoria & M.
