.......clotheslined? xD what does that mean?

Apparently it's a sports term used to refer to someone having an arm out at neck level with the intent of knocking someone down
Outside of sports it doesn't have to be an arm, such as the air hose in the mechanic's case

Ah so like just…something similar to getting a bump on the head…or anywhere else on the body. To the point where you’re almost just hanging there. I guess?

The goal of clotheslining someone is to knock them down via the neck
An accidental one may not have the knockdown but still get yoinked by the neck

Oh I didn’t know there was a particular part of the body. Good to know! XD

Yeah. I don't think it counts at a clothesline if it's done from behind, tho

lol wow so many specifics for one thing. XD

There's a lot of super specific things out there

Indeed there is lol. I guess the more specific the better lol. If everything was vague, we’d have alot of problems lol.

Yeah its super specific. You basically need to hit someone in the front of the neck either wish a pulled tight rope, pipe, hose, or arm.
