A Scottish slang term with several overlapping violent meanings: to slash with an open razor, to headbutt, or more broadly to physically assault someone. Typically used in Scottish urban slang, particularly associated with Glasgow, and carries a strong connotation of brutal, close-quarters violence. It's used both as a verb ('I'll malky you') and exists in the cultural lore of hard-man Glasgow street culture. Not used in polite or formal speech — it's firmly working-class street slang.
