(figurative, sport) Any great loss by a team; a game in which one team wins overwhelmingly.

The game against Sri Lanka and Australia was carnage with Australia winning by 287 runs.
For parents

Carnage means: Any great loss by a team; a game in which one team wins overwhelmingly.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. It is sporting vocabulary and harmless in itself. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

carnage means: Any great loss by a team; a game in which one team wins overwhelmingly.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Cluster: approval
