Although it is the name of a band and Alice In Chains song. The true meaning behind Godsmack is a heroin overdose.

Something that comes back to bite you in the ass. Karma if you will - like God has smacked you in the face with the very thing you fear, condemn, abuse or have been avoiding.
A womanizer has gotten a women pregnant and she's having a daughter. A godsmackthat he will have to forever live with - and keep guys like him away from his daughter.

A racist parent has son or daughter that marries and/or has a child with a person outside of their race. A godsmackthat they will have to accept in order to keep the peace with their child.

A person who is afraid of flying finally decides to go on a plane and dies in a plane crash. Fatal godsmack.

1. Name of an Alice in Chains song from the album Dirt.
2. A band that tries their hardest to emulate Alice in Chains by copying their vocals, logo, sound, album cover, album name, and even their transition to accoustic sound. However, the despite all this, they strongly deny they got their name from the Alice in Chains song despite copying everything else from them.
We thought of Godsmack when I got a cold sore and Sully said God smacked you for saying that stuff about my mother. I thought it was a pretty good lie. We also told my mom the boogie man ate the cookies in the cookie jar.

A very successful and underrated heavy metal band from Boston, Massachusetts who sold over 8 million records. With 4 platinum albums, the band also holds the record (17 and counting) for most top 10 singles in active rock history. The band is wrongfully accused by many for ripping off Alice and Chains names, logos, and sound. However, anybody with any musical talent or knowledge can agree that this is not true. Godsmack is arguably the best live band out there today. The band has notably out performed bands such as Metallica and Motley Crue infront of live audiences. Godsmack consists of 4 members. Sully Erna guitar/vocals, Shannon Larkin/drums, Tony Rombola lead guitar/backup vocals, and Robbie Merill/bass.
I went to the Metallica concert last night. Godsmack opened for them completley and stole the show.

I left Cruefest 2 after Godsmack's set. No other band could measure up.

A good band that has come a long way since their first album. They started as a tribute to Alice In Chains, and people bash them for it because of it even though it's actually pretty cool to do a tribute to such a band.

Unlike popular belief, Godsmack have more than one album, and none of their albums since "Godsmack" can be classified as Nu-Metal.
Have you noticed all the wannabe-hardcore posers that talk shit about Godsmack on teh internets without having even listened to their songs just because it makes them sound tough?

A godsmack is a lethal dose of heroin. This is the original meaning. There is also a nu-metal band named Godsmack who started as an AIC tribute band and despite the fact that there is an AIC song called God smack, they claim the name was derived from an incident of karma the lead singer Sully experienced. As an AIC influenced band who were certainly aware of this song title to claim such a thing is most likely just the best reason they could come up with to explain their band’s name in order to avoid accusations of rip-off. This karma story is the origin of the karma definition of godsmack that so many youngsters believe is the true definition. It is not. A godsmack is a lethal dose of heroin. Period. It is a noun, not a verb.
Junkie1 said to junkie2 “ hey, did you here junkie3 died last night?”
Junkie2 “Yep. He finally took that Godsmack.”

1) To die of an overdose of drugs, typcially heroin.
2) In the tech industry, when karma pays back a system administrator (sysadmin) who generally thinks they are a computer god, by royally screwing up a computer with a simple task or software installation.
1) Jim Bo was a heavy user of heroin and he finally got godsmacked.

2) Charlie in IT operations installed an encryption program for us without reading the instructions as usual. He immediately was godsmacked when he rebooted and had to rebuild the whole system.
