Athene Airheart's definitions
To really whoop someone or give them trouble. To attack. If you really bust someone up and thoroughly kick their tailfeathers, you will have given them hell.
Since hell is a bad place full of suffering, to give someone hell is to create your own little part of it just for them.
It can also be a term for teasing or general razzing, ("he was really giving you hell at the party, wasn't he?") as well as winning in an athletic event. "We really gave that team hell."

If you are fighting a ferocious enemy, and want to charge up your troops, a good thing to shout would be "Give 'em hell!"

When I pull back on the stick, the elevator at the tail of the plane goes up. The wind flowing over the tail forces the nose up, and I climb into the sky.
