Can have a number of reasons including:
1: Being extremly wet.
2: Being sunk, as in someone being put back in their place. Is synonymous with the word "Owned" in this context.
3: Knocked unconcious (Not usually used).
Etymology: Comes from the sinking of the Belgrano in the Falklands War in 1982, leadng to the death of hundreds of Argentinian soldiers. Is widely regarded as an over reaction, as it was sailing away from the islands at the time of attack.

ex US Navy cruiser that was undamaged at Pearl Harbor.Sold to Argentina and was deployed in Falklands conflict.While on a mission, this ship was shadowed and engaged by HMS Conqueror.Two mk8 torpedoes struck,causing an internel explosion and blowing the bows off.More than 320 Argentine sailors were killed and the Argentine Navy went back to port.Argentina lost the war and Britain was Great again.Well done Maggie, for restoring Anglo-Saxon pride.
