The act of getting your ass beat into a nasty, messy, catastrophically bloody pulp by a true Philadelphian. It is actually a painful honor of sorts; if you're gonna get your ass beat, it might as well be done by someone who can do it right.
Jim: Yo, I woke up with two black eyes, a broken arm, and like half my face missing... WTF happened last night?

Bob: Dude, you're lucky you woke up at all. You were face wasted and started mouthin' off at this girl from PA. She had enough of you at one point and gave your ass a real, gritty Philly Beatdown.

Jimbo: Oh... a Philly Beatdown's what happened... no wonder I CRS!!!
