Beadle-bend

Scots; seemingly limited to the small town of Strathaven (approx. 25 miles from Glasgow) and used by local neds (see Scots: "Ned")
Having seemingly used reference to the late Jeremy Beadle of TV's "Beadle's About" fame, it is uncertain whether it's use has continued since the late 1990s:

Means to beat up or give a someone a kicking.
Usually used as a threat.

Sometimes abbreviated to "Beadlin'"
