Origin

Second World War (apparently air force slang): of unknown origin.

  • The clobber meaning ‘to hit someone hard or defeat them completely’ dates from the Second World War. Although the origin is not certain, it seems to have been RAF slang, and probably described striking a place hard in a bombing raid. The other sense of clobber, ‘clothing or belongings’, is a different word which dates from the late 19th century and is again of unknown origin.
