A term used in modern electronic games, where characters fall limply and body parts interact with the environment after being killed. The goal of Ragdoll physics is creating more realistic corpses. This often results in cringes of horror, or bursts of laughter based on the corpses flipping or slumping. One of the earliest games employing Ragdoll physics is Hitman.
"I shot him in front of a railing, and because of ragdoll physics, he flipped over the railing and hit a chair."
To be forcefully grabbed and shaken with such ferocity that the recipient resembles a ragdoll, usually occuring when a person has to restrain from more direct attacks for the sake of some bad concequences. For example nightclub bouncers/men with angry girlfriends/prison guards etc.
The cheeky twat thought he was a properhard cunt til the bouncers ragdolled him all over the bar before chucking him out.
The Ragdoll is a breed of longhaired cat. It is best known for its docile and placid temperament and affectionate nature. It is perhaps the gentlest and most easy-going of breeds. The name "Ragdoll" derived from the fact that many of these cats go completely limp and relax when picked up. Ragdolls have a sturdy body, short legs, and a long thick coat with Siamese-style points.
My Ragdoll is the sweetest pet in the whole wide world.
