Gaming term from the
Warhammer 40,000 hobby.
A Dreadsock is a standard sock with a (metal) 40K
Dreadnought inside. The Dreadsock is then used to 'beat the stupid/cheeze/beard/shit' out of people.
In general useage, "Dreadsock" is usually suggested to
emphasise how stupid a situation is.
Note: it is not advisable to actually hit someone with a real Dreadsock - it can cause serious injury, and get you in a lot of trouble!
"
This guy at my local club insists on using
illegal rules combos and claiming it's legal! We've tried time and again to make him learn the proper rules! How do I get through to him?"
"
Take one Dreadsock, and apply as many times as needed to make him stop."
