commonly used in sports to insult players from an opposing team. the sport with the highest amount of sledging is cricket, with one player having to stand in the middle of the opposing team for what could be hours on end. because cricket requires supreme concentration; witty, clever and insulting sledges can be useful in putting the batsman off his game.

some sledges, however, can turn nasty when racism is brought into it, usually by the south africans or pakistanis (but never australians ;)
sledging can occur in football except footballers are usually too stupid to come up with clever sledges.
examples of a sledge:

mark waugh (aus) to james ormond (eng): There's no way your good enough to play for england!
james ormond: maybe not, but at least i'm the best player in my family.

rod marsh (aus) to ian botham (eng): So Ian, hows your wife .... and my kids?

and so on. have to be an aussie or a pom to find them funny

sledgehammer 

1. a tool used many purposes, including smashing things.

2. a big hit for rocker Peter Gabriel. It hit Number One in America during the summer of 1986. It has an award-winning, revolutionary video that features Claymation, or some technique similar to it. Peter Gabriel sings the lyrics from the point-of-view of a cocky guy, maybe as a parody of all those cock rock hits.

3. anything that breaks the ice, or shatters the walls of shyness or alienation in a person. Then you can get a certain person better and establish communication with him/her.
1. Richard got so pissed at the shallow boobs that were giving out what passes for the news these days he picked up a sledgehammer and smashed the fucking TV into junk.

2. A big highlight of the Peter Gabriel concert that I went to in 2003 was his megasmash "Sledgehammer".

3. ... I wanna be ... your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name?
Ha! I wanna be your sledgehammer...
