To inflict a savage beating upon; to participate in a brutal beatdown. Comes from the idea of capturing and unleashing the very essence of a
city, the heat, traffic,
gridlock, rudeness, selfishness, frustration crime, people moving causing friction like electrons furiously orbiting an increasingly unstable nucleus of wrath, the seething rage that is one degree away from reaching the
boiling point - hence, "municipal", which means of, or like a city.
The
ravers wouldn't stop
blasting their techno into the
wee hours of the morning, so we had to get municipal on their ass.
